School is simply one of many paths to enlightenment.
By that I mean nothing religious or philisophical, simply that it is the most practical means of becoming something in the world. Since it has largely become a mainstream idea that is associated with agonizing pain, it has lost a great deal of its effectiveness as a tool.
Granted, don't get me wrong I think that teachers do a great job, its just that the rules imposed upon schools cause the US public school system to suffer.
What do you mean? Can you give some examples?Quote:

They make it so that people who get better grades are rewarded, and those who don't are punished. Grading shouldn't take such an emphasis in education. It should be more about how well you understand the concepts, not how well you can get an answer.
I don't think I've been very clear, but I did try.
So, for me to try and summary, they impose a singular way of thinking, and if you don't follow that way of thinking, you are incorrect, and will not succeed in life.
not all schools are that way. i have sevear dislexia and all my teachers had to rearrange their lessions to fit my learing style. not for the whole class, that would be dumb, but for me. in 4th grade i took my spelling tests a day befor everyone else oraly. if i did well i could keep that grade, if i didnt i had to take the test with everyone else on one of the very 1st lap tops ever made. because my hand writing was so messed up and i never wrote in the same direction twice. and no one could tell the difrence between my bdpg&q's or 2/5 or s/z or 3/e..... you get the pictQuote:
