But look on the bright side, Abbey...

They are trained to use the correct pronouns.
They are trained to think they can be any gender they wish, even if it requires hormones and surgery.
They are trained not to tell their parents what goes on at school

1. That you can PRETEND to listen when your teacher rants about some woke BS in class. (Sit up straight, big smile, eyes on the teacher while thinking about all the ways the teacher is trying to reduce your future earnings).

2. That you can become a non-violent activist AGAINST the political BS your teachers are drumming into your head.

3. That you don't HAVE to become a woke brainwashed drone for the rest of your life...(ONCE YOU GRADUATE).

They don't tell you that what school is, is laying a foundation to set you up for life.
They don't tell you, that even if you never use what they teach, it'll unlock doors you never knew were there.
They never tell you, you are busy learning about yourself.

@Ingwe Good points 👍

Nimbus · M

@cherokeepatti Correct.

@Nimbus I guess they can’t teach everything but it would be good if they could teach some things in a summer school class for adult life. It might be a popular class and parents would probably be supportive. Too bad they don’t send out surveys to parents and students and ask them what subjects they would like to be taught that is not being taught.

Nimbus · M

@cherokeepatti Exactly!
Instead they teach useless crap like trigonometry and algebra which I have never had any use for in adult life!

@Stereoguy I believe that they can do a whole lot better in certain classes such as history. I didn’t like history due to the way they were teaching it. But after high school I’d go to the library and find books about certain historical eras including other countries that they didn’t teach in high school and got really interested in it.

Basic Phonics
How to balance a checkbook
How to defend yourself

[b]Here's One: [/b]as a person entering the adult world, everything you do has consequences good or bad.

Ran into a student I use to Bus working at a snack stand after graduation, he said, "nobody taught or told him it was going to be like it is in the adult world". (i.e. supervisors, people of authority, company rules, etc.,).

@eyeno Good point.

reality, success, & Independence

Most of what they teach is inconsequential bullshit to make someone conform to a failing society. It's no surprise that many of the world's greatest thinkers, scientists, inventors, etc. are/were college/high school dropouts...
