Research based education standards are light-years away from what we choose to do, because what we choose to do is based on 19th century attempts to industrialize. Meaning getting kids used to being away from extended family, stuck in a seat for hours, rote memorization, and regurgitation of whatever you’re told.
School never taught me how to actually live and function in society.
Guess what? I ended up poor and going to jail. Guess what? It was the same thing as school only depressed adults, more desperate. Many of the people were kind and just. Good people. They were just institutionalized and thats really sad, on a personal level for me. The way that they carry themselves was heartbreaking to me. I’m very privileged to even sit here and have a good conversation with you.
Schools here are mostly just there to get you used to jail or a shitty job that makes you hate yourself. Institutionalization.
100%.
