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.

Google "competition" and get back with us when you don't sound like a fucking 12-yr-old.  PRIVATIZATION does NOT mean just handing the local and failing school system to a company run by one of the members of the Board of Education.  It does NOT mean using no-bid contracts and other winks and nudges in back rooms.  Privatization requires competition.  And note well that with unionized labor, there's ZERO competition going on.

You're so brainwashed by the public schools that you can't even see that.  In fact, your so-called arguments are prima facie evidence that the school system is failing and must be changed by any means, including wholesale closure.
