American Public Schools Are Awful

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.

Unions serve no purpose in a competitive marketplace.  Find me ANY unions behind and competitive bidders.  Find me ONE.

I repeated it since you're pretending that it's not a possible (much less likely) solution.  The public schools suck ass.  That much cannot be denied.  But the solutions to fix them within the present framework of unionized labor obviously doesn't work.  That much should NOT be in contention, but it's precisely at that point that you union faglords continue to draw the line.  You're only protecting union pay and benefits, while the products (i.e. knowledgeable students) fail in the marketplace year after year.  Failing products must feedback into the production process, to change it for the better, or to shut down the production.  Anything else is a true travesty.
