I lwky agree with one point. We DON'T need 8 hours of school every day. It should be reduced.

It’s not necessarily the stuff you’re learning. It’s moreso the WORK SKILLS you learn from school. Like turning in assignments on time, talking with the teachers, it’s the same skills you NEED in a work environment.

I feel like it does more harm than good tbh

Like, I feel somewhat more stressed out and depressed from school. Everyday, I see people screaming 67 and pmo. The learning system is also mid. When am I ever going to need to need to bring up a complex math formula, or say something about Egypt or whatever? Not like I'm becoming a scientist. As for the social status, its beyond awful. Sure, you get to socialize and make 'friends', but when you find out they're fake, its just painful. // This is a personal issue that cannot have school be blamed for it. Why do you ban phones instead of brainrot? As the name suggests, brainrot can actually rot your brain. That goes against learning, and just degrades your brain. Why do you need to ban phones? If the teacher doesn't see theyre on their phones, they're just blind. They can just take away their phone and give it back at the end of class of whatever. // Since you already know that the teachers don't want the phones in classes (as they'd take them away), banning them is just more convenient. They might need to address urgent situations on their phones or whatever.

Google just kinda defeats school. Need to know something? GOogle. Yes, you do need to learn words and how to navigate through Google, but your parents can just teach you some words and teach you to navigate. // You can't have a job by just googling stuff. Give me any example and I'm sure you'll be wrong.  Its just simple words, you're not looking up complex searches with complex words.

Overall, my experience in school has just been AWFUL. My mental health as degraded so much these past years in school. Seeing my friends trying out to be fake friends, hearing dumb brainrot being screamed out, and blind teachers who target the victims and not the bullies. // Brainrot is NOT the fault of schools. It's the algorithms fault. Also, you used to BE a brainrot kid so you CANNOT be talking. Also, again with the fake friends thing, THIS IS NOT SCHOOLS FAULT. But the blind teachers thing is.

I think building schools are just a huge waste of money, but there's already like thousands of schools, and teachers, so we cant just go back now or millions of people will lose their jobs, so yeah :/

Also, homeschool and virtual learning exists, and are so much better. I've never been homeschooled but virtual learning was awesome. You learn for like 2-3 hours, and its mostly stuff you can benefit from. // It was the same stuff (for me at least).

I don't really see the needs of going to school, and I don't really see many pros of school.

I think it's just a waste of time since you have school for 180 days learning for 7 hours a day, and only having like 180 other days in free time, but you have homework so yeah :/

it's good to learn it yourself though and know why it works without using the internet as a crutch

Music, Spotify // This doesn't teach you music, it just has you listening to it.

French, i dont need to go to france

biology, hospitals // This is how I can tell you didn't/don't listen in school.

Exactly! I've learnt over my life more from Youtube than I ever could've from school. Call me a lunatic, or a conspiracy theorist, but in my opinion, school was never there to educate you (Except grades 1-5, they're pretty important). School never taught you how to pay taxes, how to manage finances, it taught you useless stuff you'll never use (Unless you become a mathematician or a scientist for some reason), and in the midst of doing that, it also sucked out ALL of your creativity, leaving you without a personality and a clone of your classmate's intellectual. School is designed to make you a factory worker. Ask John D. Rockefeller, America's first billionaire and a massive provider to the American education system: "I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers". They build compliance in you, never make you question the ones in authority. Have you ever thought of that?

Im with you on learning things that really matter. The money system is broken to keep us all in debt while the ones at the top rake in most of the money. Im not saying the ones at the bottom cant make money but its not how the system is designed. Fractional reserve banking and central banks are not good for the "people". Only good for the ones that somehow get to print the money, fix the interest rates and make policies that none of "us" ever voted for.
