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.

Look, dickball, by your standards, corporations can't serve small towns.  Thousands do, and compete.  The same manner of action applies to educational organizations.  PERIOD.  You're trying to effectively deny the fucking sky is blue.  Give it up, faglord!

And given contract terms, a winner bidder still has to PERFORM.  It's like you don't fucking even SEE that word!  You're only proving that you're a teacher or administrator, or you're closely related to one.  The union mentality has thoroughly brainwashed your class of person.  You can't even CONCEIVE of being held responsible for the quality of the product (i.e. knowledgeable students) that you or your relative produce.

And lastly, giving principals more power does sound like a good idea, but again, that's still within the power elite of the unionized teachers and administrators.  The unions never allow principals to have that much power.  So it only stands to reason that the teacher/admin unions must be destroyed.  And how do you do that?  BY PRIVATIZING.  That's the only way to get rid of such a greatly entrenched entity like a union.  These principals that you so laud are perfectly free to apply for their previous jobs from the winning bidder.  So, your empower-principal solution can STILL be tried within the necessary context of PRIVATIZATION.
