True education is something that schooling gets in the way of.
Most people are under the false impression that education and schooling are synonymous.
Just say no to schooling and drugs. Go out and actually learn things instead of pretending to learn things when in fact you're becoming stupider and more likely to do drugs and participate in immoral sexual behaviour.
Don't get grades and diplomas that trick people into thinking you're smart. Actually become smart.
Compulsory education is forcing children against their will with threat of imprisonment to go to awful public schools that brainwash them, make them stupid, and attempt to ruin any potential they had at becoming reasonable people.
The 5 GED tests represent what an average American high school graduate should be able to answer which would explain why it's viewed by many as being "too easy". Ironically, studies have shown that when tested, average high school graduates have failed the GED tests.
The word education as most people view it is something that doesn't represent knowledge, wisdom, or effort. It represents who had the most money to buy the best degree from the best university.

What s/he said ^
education has it's uses, the mistake people make is in assuming that there is no learning beyond education.
Bullshit (often bowdlerized to BS), also Bullcrap, is a common English expletive. It can also be shortened to just "Bull".
Most commonly, it describes incorrect, misleading, false language and statements. Literally, it describes the feces of a bull. As with many expletives, it can be used as an interjection (or in many other parts of speech) and can carry a wide variety of meanings.
Bullshitting is usually when one makes statements that are false, or made-up. Usually people describe other people's action of making a lot of statements as bullshitting in arguments, when one is making up rules or making examples that are not anything to do with what they are discussing or when one is making statements by using examples that need different rules to be applied, so this person is bullshitting
As it contains the word "shit", the term is sometimes considered foul language, hence the use of the euphemistic abbreviations "bull" and "BS". Nonetheless, the term is prevalent in American English and, as with many words, the term is used in a variety of countries, some dating back to approximately the same era World War I. In British English, bollocks is a comparable expletive, although bullshit is now a commonly used expletive in British English also.

fuck school! learn as much as you can on your own time, half of what you know you just pick up anyway. if you really care about how much you know, and not about some grades on a shit peice of paper, then read and learn yourself! distinguish yourself from the social norm and be all you can be, and never let anyone tell you what you can and can't do.
kids should be allowed to leave school any time they want.
