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.

Corporations are not mandated to serve all children of a town and simultaneously have competitors also trying to serve all children of a town, competing for students.  This problem is moot, because you have redefined the privatizing as contracting out to a single corporation anyhow, rendering the competition of multiple schools problem non-existant.  So don't bother bringing it up now, since we agree it wouldn't make sense.

Just being in a union doesn't mean you can't be held to standards.  You need to meet standards to get the job in the first place.  Admittedly, in your country (I'm not of your wacky country where apparently a teacher union kills puppies), some areas have such a problem finding anyone wanting to work in a shitty situation that they hire anyone they can, union or not.

Just because you hire from the private sector doesn't mean no unions would be involved necessarily.  Maybe you can hire Mexicans to teach, I don't know.  Isn't that how it works nowadays?  Get rid of domestic labour because it isn't fun bargaining with people who have a right to organize.

No one should be a teacher in the first place.  No one should have to put up with creeps who 40 years ago would've been in a reform school for rape but today the girl has to have the fuckin' guy come in on day pass and the teachers weren't even tipped off about the sort of person they have.

And sometimes, you can't shine a turd.
