School is so opaque, you learn to work as a team, with a boss, on a schedule, with a deadline, from 9-5 five days a week. What if a person wanted more for their life than training on how to be a 'productive member of modern society'?
I probably wouldn't homeschool my children, but I'd pay for them to go to a school that focussed on their abilities rather than gave them the standard boring education that everyone else receives. For a lot of people, the scheduled way of teaching prepares them for their inevitable life of office work, but for the people who actually become the "masters" as it were, it isn't a good thing to waste time on. I had a childhood fascination with computers, which was put on hold for 7 years whilst I went through the education system. Only now I am able to actually do what I always wanted to.
Quote:I can't count the times I got removed from class as a kid because the history texts were full of lies, and the whole program was a sham. The emphases on maths, the only part of life that is black and white.
How exactly did you know there were "lies"? Can you give some examples? Or were these just the beginnings of what would become the conspiracy nut we all love to hate?
Quote:Fucking school. I got suspended once because I asked if we could learn about another genocide, other than the capital H jewish holocaust again year after year after year. Why did we learn about the capital H holocaust? Because lobbyists for Isreali public opinion have some control over what the schools teach the children.
Erm...right. You know the Holocaust was an important part of history right? 6,000,000 people were wiped out by a fanatical dictator who went to war with most of the civilised world. It's not like you can just ignore that in a history class. If you did, you'd get other people complaining about how it wasn't taught, and how kids were taught about some other holocaust instead.
Quote:Add the homosexual lobbyists, and the pro-evolution lobbyists, and the creationism lobbyists, and the contract from pepsi and nike. No wonder the schools so dysfunctional that they can output honour roll HS graduates that are functionally illiterate.
There isn't anything wrong with homosexual lobbyists, nor pro-evolution lobbyists. They are lobbying for the discussion of the truth. What do you see wrong with that?
