American Public Schools Are Awful

Name: Anonymous 2008-09-02 16:16

I decided to quit school because I don't believe in ignorance, rudeness, dating, fornication, or the use of drugs. I also don't believe in grades being based 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 the GED Tests. Ironically some of its critics who likely have never seen the test refer to it as, "too easy".

They should start training people for a trade in public school instead of this elitist higher education lie where all the wrong people are given all the wrong jobs. What relevance is it anyway if I go to school or not? If all you look at on a person are degrees then you really don't know what matters. 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".

College teaches you one thing how to trick and exploit poor people.

How many corporations are there in America, and how many of those can show up in any arbitrary population base?  You already know the answers:

1. Tens of thousands.
2. Almost all of them.

Corporation A can simply try to run the effort more cheaply than Corporation B, hence will tend to win the bid, hence will tend to keep the contract.

And Corporation C?  Yeh, that's the UNIONIZED PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM that does everything worse, slower and more expensive than any real business in America can.  It will ALWAYS lose in competitive bidding and by performance metrics.  They are free to bid.  Fuck, all the teachers from the previous public school system are entirely free to collect together a corporation free from the overloading of administrators and union reps, and they are perfectly free to compete with the other bidders.  They might actually WIN, since having the skills and experience (i.e. assets) without the union and administration (i.e. liabilities) would give them distinct competitive advantages ... leaving them only with the performance hurdle to overcome.
