Don’t let the schools fool you. You are capable of a lot.
As I have stated before, the schools try to target a level that they feel all students can reach. In other words, they aim for the lowest common denominator. Regardless of who you are talking to, people will never be the lowest at everything, even within a specific class.
The schools don’t bother to learn what you are truly capable of accomplishing. Instead, they treat you as though you are incompetent. They treat you as though you can only reach the low levels that they demand.
Teachers also treat students like they can’t learn without intervention. I can assure you that you can. Since you would not be restricted by your teachers, you would likely excel when compared to your schooling-influenced performance.
You should be careful with how the schools manipulate you. You might think that they are far more valuable than they really are. If you put too much trust in your teachers, you will likely underestimate yourself.
Education has taken on contradictory meanings. Some of us reject using the term to refer to our schools. It can be stated that our schools are at war with education. This blog was initially developed for the purpose of sharing some quick (rather than conclusive) pro-education/anti-schooling thoughts. This has been expanded to include a voice from the other side of the war. Admittedly, this voice was picked for its tendency to show the absurdities of the pro-schooling/anti-educational side.
