American Schools

What's the point of secondary education (middle and high school) in the United States? You learn nothing. It's one big social shithole were little learning takes place. Actually you do learn some things like how to get pregnant, how to do drugs, and how to cheat on tests. Primary education (elementary school) though in the United States isn't that bad, they teach most of the kids basic mathematics, science, history, and how to read and write. Although a lot of that knowledge is lost in secondary school.

They should start training people for a trade in public school instead of this elitist higher education bullshit where all the wrong people are given all the wrong jobs. I dropped out of school. Not because I do drugs, I'm stupid, or I'm lazy. I quit because I don't believe in ignorance, the consumption of alcoholic beverages, the smoking of tobacco and marijuana, the use of other drugs, dating, and fornication. They were also basing grades on social and economic status, not knowledge and effort.

Instead I decided to take a series of five General Educational Development (GED) Tests and I passed them with above average scores. I was awarded a High School Equivalency Diploma which certifies that I satisfactorily completed comprehensive tests selected by the Commissioner of Education for determining general educational achievement equivalent to high school graduation.

Studies have shown that most high school graduates when tested have failed to pass the GED Tests. Ironically some of its critics who likely have never seen the test refer to it as, "too easy".

Most people with degrees can't even do the professions that they studied in a university for 4 years any better than a 5th grader, if not worse. Yet they're the experts because they're "qualified". I know I'll have a hard time financially in this society that is based so much on false education but I don't care about that. I'm satisfied knowing inside that I'm pretty smart, who cares what other people think. All those companies would rather hire people who don't know anything. It's their loss.

Teachers are allegedly highly trained in educational methods.  There is NO EXCUSE for their huge levels of failure in the public schools.  The only possible excuse is the UNION MENTALITY that says teachers exhibit more concern about their labor contracts than they do about educating students.

Remember, fuckball, that teachers are SUPPOSED to be the ADULT SUPERVISION in a school.  You're implying teachers aren't competent enough to even merit the job.  Well, I agree.  Fire their stupid asses and put the students to self-study work in order to get useful things done.  The ex-teachers can then re-join the REAL WORLD where they will be expected to PERFORM or be FIRED.
