Ha! THIS was what you'd had in mind saying, with teachers anywhere nearby?

I'm surprised they didn't send in the Gestapo to round you (and your family) up and shoot you all.

You're right, the education system is shot. It's gotten out of control, so that instead of learning we're taught, instead of exploring we're guided, and instead of maturing we're kept as dependent children.

Hooray for having the mediocre as the teachers and masters of the rest!

You rock.

Oh, btw, most of what I know, I've learned through Google. A few well-placed searches, and I'm LEARNING things!

As opposed to the marathon **-kissing session that makes up a regular school day, in which your intelligence and ability is judged by how well you fit into the system, and not by what you're capable of learning or achieving.

Thanks to a good mix of genes, though, I excel in both. So go me.
