school a waste?
More than 20,000 hours of my life on learning things in the most complicated, inefficient, long winded, repetitive, uninteresting, and alienated way possible, so that I would forget most of it, and lose interest in one thing after another as a result, a waste? Why no, of course not. I loved the way I only had about 2 hours a day left to do what interested me, and how I was encouraged to believe all kinds of rubbish, and not ask questions, and to shut up, and keep still, and disguise myself.
Yes, that was really great. School; the best days of my life.
PS, Equinn; ditto to your post, except that am not a teacher ! !
Would you like some sugar with that irony? I feel pretty much the same way though I skipped out real early and never really looked back after the 7th grade. Still there are about 9 years of my life (including nursery school) that I will never get back. Good times, eh. I keep thinking - this only makes us stronger.....repeat mantra.....ad adfintum....
