5 Ways Public Schools Prepare Us For Prison Life

OMG this is soo crazy because I used to say that non-jokingly as a kid that "all this is is preparation for prison/ institutionalism " I guess thats why they blackballed me in highschool and i left without a diploma..ha but look at me now im about to graduate with a degree in accounting from a very prominent university.....with not a single drop of info i learned from highschool...I just took my ged, then i took college placement exam , then I just studied the material relevant to my courses and here I am senior in college with a 3.5 gpa taking on a very hard major....no highschool diploma...no highschool anything. I litereally learned all the math i needed for algebra in a couple short weeks

everything i needed to know for college I learned in my first year of college taking courses the placement exam said i should take....after that its just read what your supposed to read and take the tests

Something wicked this way comes.

The wheels are in motion.

The final false-flag is heating up.

she's far too beautiful to die!

and that is a douchebag thing to say. :P

this thread is retarded and i just farted

Why did you remove the morons thread? Sheesh, you took away fun time from the rest of us to rip him a new asshole. I have been saying this for years about the school system and it keeps on getting worse.

Close the window and do it again, maybe you will pass out and shaddup!

Bunch of entitled pricks think public education is the only thing that'll secure your future. Welcome to a rude awakening, you're going to get by the way the rest of us have since forever! Get used to it!

^^^^this
And OP, thank you so much. This is fascinating.

I'm sure she's not cheap, or a slut, even if she was I doubt you could afford her. Use the hand buddy.

I thoroughly doubt that TxGal is ANY kind of "slut", and even if she WERE "available" she sure as HELL wouldn't be "CHEAP"!

WAY above YOUR pay grade!

are you op? no ? was that directed at you? no, just a stupid attention whore is what you are

Pretty good article.

JD Rockefellar financed the research for what has become USA education. When questioned, he said something along the lines of "I'm paying to educate workers, not teach them how to think"

BTW - you look kinda cute in the pic, Tex. But, what's up with the one eye hidden look?

You mounted him?

Thank You TXGal4Truth !!!

I had a terrible time at school for 6 years.
From age 10.

It's mentioned in my online autobiography

Scroll down to 1970's

LMAO!

I love your post TXgal. My sister in Christ and you take no prisoners! ROCK ON!

Oh look, it's the guy from...uuuuuh...hmmmmm.....Fosters!

From a very young age I had a big problem with authority. I simply did not like being bullied and caged.

The fence at my after school program didnt have a 6ft fence. I think it was about three and a half feet. My house was literally 3 blocks from the center. I continuously jumped that fence and walked home, nearly everyday. Finally by the second grade, they expelled me.

In middle school and high school there were no fences, and I took liberty to walk away from campus often, usually to smoke some weed and maybe drink...oh and acid. It was kind of the thing in the 80's.

Really I was just bored out of my head. The subjects were dull, the teachers reading out of lesson books, the students were mostly the typical yuppie types and I just didn't fit in. It wasn't a money thing, it was an intellectual disconnection with my peers.
My grades were horrible. I was in front of the board all the time for being expelled and suspension due to cutting school.

My poor parents. Both of my older sisters had been stellar students. They won all the awards all through school. They made straight A's. They won spelling contests, writing contests, they were both National Merit Honor's students and graduated the top of their class, which contained roughly 3,000 students.

I on the other hand, was expelled from day care by the second grade. The school never called about awards, only school board hearing dates.
By middle school my report card was mostly D's and lots of F's. I refused to dress out at gym all through middle school.
The grades continued to fall in all subjects as I progressed through each grade aand became more and more disconnected and bored.

The school recommended putting me in remedial classes. We had basically 5 levels of classes. Level 1 was special education. Level 2 was for slower learners. Level 3 was for average learners. Level 4 was for above average and Level 5 was for the academically gifted.

I had always been in level 4 classes, above average. They wanted to move me to either average or below average to help me get better grades.

Luckily my mom stepped in and another teacher backed her up and instead of being demoted, I was moved to the level 5 gifted class. My grades went from D's and F's, immediately to B's and A's.
I also didn't skip school as often.
I wasn't stupid or simply an out of control teenager, I was just plain BORED!

By high school, I simply quit going to school all together. It took a full year of not going to school for the school system to even realize I was missing. They called the day after the school ended, after cleaning out lockers and realizing all my books were still there.

Thankfully, I was moved to private school and able to do self study at my own pace at that school (not at home but at school in the gym). I tested as I felt ready and was able to test out of every subject with in 14 months..... 4 years of school completed by self study and testing at my own pace, completed in just over a year.

The result, 3.9 GPA, graduated with honors and went on to college. Completed my degree in the 4 years allotted with an overall GPA of 3.7 and gradated with honors. I was accepted into the graduate program but declined. I considered law school but decided against it. And I even considered going bck to school for my MBA, about 5 years into my career until I came to my senses. The last thing the world needs is another MBA zombie.

You know, I remember feeling so repressed in school. We had no fences. No locked doors or scanners and ID tags.

I'm 38 years old now.

I can't not imagine how horrible it is for those kids today.

Great post!

Apparently there were laws. Huh, who knew?

I quickly found out. I spent about two years of my life in and out of juvenile detention for not going to school. Im an adult now and I think what a huge waste of time that all was.

My middle school had a rear fence with barbed wire along the top, pointing inward!

i'm sure that scathing attack on the Aussie hurt his feelings.

lolololololololool

I stopped going to school after 8th grade, got my GED when I was 16 and I turned out okay.

You're dealing with a demon.

LOL! How did I KNOW that it was an Aussie spewing that garbage. You guys are just the absoulte LOWEST maggots on earth.
