K-12 Education: What The Hell Did You Learn?

[FunInTheSunParticipant 8288]

Here in the USA, you can get a free K-12 education—even if your parents are illegal aliens. So my question is, after watching this video, what the hell are people LEARNING since billions of tax dollars have been spent for their education?!

When I was a teenager, I had a world map on my wall. I would look at it DAILY—not because I had to study for an exam—but because it was interesting!

To me, it’s a sin to get a high school diploma in your hands and not know anything significant about the world you live in beyond your town/city.

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

I was one of those kids that read the dictionary. The girls used to call me ‘encyclopedia boy’ to make fun.
You having a world map on the wall was awesome. I used to play Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego and crap like that.

Good thing I could teach myself because I hated the school system and learned a little over nothing.

Great place to be bullied. Great place to be brainwashed. Full of wretched c~~~s passing as teachers.

My soul weeps for the kids of today. Their schools are feminist indoctrination camps.

If women ran the world = It would become the shithole you are seeing.

I learnt that I have problems with authority.

Public schools teach people to do what they’re told. They socialize children to fall in line, to submit to authority.

I was lucky in that I had some teachers who taught me how to think, on account of I don’t do what I’m told without understanding why and even then I might decide not to.

There were other teachers who tried to intimidate me, some of them retired early.

I had an English teacher who taught me about Etymology and Shakespeare, I valued that.
I had a history teacher who brought a copy of Al-Jazeera to class on 9/12/2001, with the cover showing people in the middle east celebrating, that piqued my curiosity.

Other than those 2 examples I feel I would have been better off without the school board’s curriculum. The only things I think should be mandatory are Math, reading, writing, health, Physical Education and English (or whatever primary language applies). Everything else can and should be elective.

i had the same question recently. I wanted to create a simple electric device but I dont remember a thing about those physics lessons, not even a basic formula about resistance volts ampers.

Id like to know if you guys find a practical utility of any lessons you learn at physics.

Other than electricity I dont remember not even what other chapters I studied at physics.

School in the UK was not much different.

Then in 1995 I went to University in London and completed a general business degree where they taught the loaded bulls~~~ version of economics which suits the wall street and “The City” (London) baking fraudsters.

How many can read a tape measure or micrometer?

How many can turn a wrench?

How many can weld metals?

How many can solve their own problems?

We’re witnessing the boomerang generation going back home to mommy and daddy for help because of their ill equipped education from the feminazis that have steadily lowered our test scores to the lowest among the industrialized nations and a good number of the non industrialized nations.

It’s about time someone like Trump FIRES THESE ASSHOLES and not DONATE HIS SALARY TO THEM AS HE DID!

Same’o same’o, go your own way, solve your own problems, EDUCATE YOURSELF! They only want to destroy you in the sea of hate and bigotry they created!

I’ve talked to people in South Dakota who didn’t know where Manitoba was. It is what it is…

I tried welding aluminum once. It wasn’t pretty…

If it wasn’t pretty it’s only because it was “dirty”, always use a devoted stainless steel wire brush/wheel for prepping, X contamination from any source will make it REAL UGLY! Same when accidently making contact with the tungsten carbide tig electrode, gotta stop and clean it all out, not melt it all out. Tedious work, especially when you destroy a piece by f~~~ing up the annealing process!

You really need to be in 0 gs’ to make it perfect, otherwise you’re a human gimbal rolling the piece and working the flow, or playing with heat, speed, and penetration, takes allot of practice and allot of voltage unlike steel.

Nothing really. Everything I learned was self-taught. I had only had a few good teachers who did their jobs like this Chinese fellow who was a great mentor in calculus but most teachers were either too lazy or gave no s~~~s about the job to the point of expecting you to know the subject beforehand rather than actually teaching you it themselves. And there were so many short cuts to their teaching methods that it was f~~~ing pathetic.

At this point it makes no difference if you’re home schooled because unless you’re going into something specific, going to public schools now is mostly for credentials that set you on the grinder when you’re debt ridden in college or university.

Another thing is automation over the years and decades will push more people towards UBI and so what would be the point of the education system? I say over the years to come we need to abolish public schools and build more trade schools that way people can work with their hands and even get used to the idea of maintaining machines that will soon be prevalent among the work force.

I learned to sit down, shut up, and be perpetually afraid of displeasing massa.

That is exactly the point of K-12. It wasn’t working too well so that added on 5 extra years of BS they hustle you into paying for.

I attended three high schools one of which was a rural ‘farmer’s’ school. I took classes in auto mechanics, wood working, welding, machine shop and industrial physics (hydraulics and pneumatics).

The teachers tried to discourage me from taking the industrial physics class because I lacked the prerequisite course but my dad assured them that I knew my s~~~ so they let me enroll. I aced the class, it was a breeze.

I don’t know if this sort of thing is given very much focus these days. I have neighbours that are HS teachers and the school where they teach does none of this stuff. They also have a teenage son and no one the family even knows how to change a spark plug on a lawn mower. Kids in the school system today I think are going to have it rough as adults. They won’t know how to do anything for themselves…

To be fair, all Americans know exactly where North Korea is. It’s “IN RANGE”!!!

I learned how to be a slave and do what I was told. “Repeat after me” and get a little gold star on your paper. That’s the Rockefeller Education we have here in USA. For those that don’t know, the Rockefeller Foundation created the Board of Education back in the 1920’s. Americans have been getting brainwashed ever since.

You would think they might teach you something useful like Auto-repair or basic Electric skills. You know that stuff we use everyday and is the basis of our modern economy. Gee Golly Teacher, all I learned was how to be a political correct retard. No wonder the kids today are completely useless when they hit the work force. The worst part, is that Our TAXES pay for this brainwash. I’ve talked to youngsters that have never used a screwdriver and don’t know the difference between DC and AC electricity. 12 years of state funded education and this is what we get. This is why I tell people that I am completely self-taught. All of the skills and knowledge, I learned outside of the classroom.

I learned that the system is geared to make a slave out of you by teaching you how to obey, and that if I want to learn or do something the right way – I have to do it myself.
And that wasn’t even in the US with hall passes to pee, police in school and buildings resembling prisons or bunkers – only thing missing is barbed wire

Haha, those dumb bitches think North Korea is in Canada, one of them points to Northern Europe. I guess they figured its in the North right?? Absolutely retarded.

Yeah, that one had me a little concerned but hopefully the guys with their hands on the buttons have it sorted out. OTOH I can’t really blame the Americans if they wanted to whack us out too…

Education is nothing more than indoctrination and seeing if you will conform and bow and serve the system, tat is all its ever was or ever will be.
