    Schools are for indoctrinating children, guys. Train them to fight their biology, conform to a factory setting, and have knowledge presented as something frustrating and difficult obtain. You guys just want them indoctrinated the “correct way” from teachers s stupid and out of date as you are.

      There’s absolutely truth to the argument that our school system is moreso obedience training than education, but this is not the time for that battle

      …especially considering that the alt-right is responsible for removing civics classes, cutting school resources, and is just going to replace public schools with a more regressive, christo-fascist schools where staff can beat and sexually abuse children… like in private christo-fascist schools.

      Hmmm, let’s see.

      The history of education, like other history, extends at least as far back as the first written records recovered from ancient civilizations. Historical studies have included virtually every nation.

      The earliest known formal school was developed in Egypt’s Middle Kingdom under the direction of Kheti, treasurer to Mentuhotep II (2061-2010 BC)

      Username checks out.

      Seriously, I get it, education systems are often extremely flawed, but education has a long and storied history of being the root of all of humanity’s progress.

      We need to do better for our children, but that doesn’t include fundamentally incorrect extremes like “formal schooling is bad”.
