Deschooling Society! Deschooling for Life!!

I remember my mum always found it a travesty that schools didn’t teach idioms as a part of their language construction

Such as “too many cooks ruin the broth”
“Poisoning the well”
“Anarchy is order government is civil war”
“With great power comes great ir-responsibility.”

When Shawn Wilbur in anarchy insides and outsides says that

“anarchy is one of those things that, as we say in less serious contexts, “you can’t unsee.” It started as a look outside—and gradually became a kind of being outside—which has always mixed uncomfortably with the often strict border-patrolling characteristic of the milieu.
The outside that characterizes anarchy is not just the outsider status that brought so many of us to the brink. That, as I think most of us recognize, is a relative thing, entirely compatible with various inversions and the creation of new kinds of INSIDER status.

INtrusion/INtruder/

BORDERS CONTROL EXCLUSION

KIM DOVEY CALLED SHOPPING MALLS INVERTED PRISONS

When they identified it with order, it was not in any way that ought to make any “law and order” crowd feel safe™

“Chances are pretty good that what we fear most is UNCERTAINTY .”

“The overwhelming emphasis on authority in our culture probably makes us place too high a value on our own rebellion. In our truly authoritarian societies, virtually EVERYTHING we would like to do is in some sense controlled or mediated by authority, so once we have embraced the position of anarchist—dedicated opponent of all of that—everything we do seems to be a part of our struggle. But there’s a real danger of turning anarchy into just another absolute”

I was love to think of the text state languages and state territories by Peter Gelderloos

It’s like vernacular/aesthetic vs street level order 🏴🫆

Got plans for the future instead of being a work slave

Hi, So as we all know, schools purpose is to indoctrinate you to put up with modern day work culture, Well after I’m done with school, instead of going straight to getting a job, I’m going to instead start my own business, I want to do car detailing, cleaning the interior of people’s cars and getting paid for it, I think this is something I can do as I have cleaned my mothers car before. To any of you guys out there thinking the system is treating you badly, it gets better I promise, do what makes you happy, don’t let a teacher tell you if your going to fail or not.

PS: you know how teachers complain about getting low pay? Well, a teacher at my school drives a fucking Tesla, and I don’t even go to a private school.

Why is school not teaching important subjects like how to get a job or pay taxes?

I’m in 10 grade high school about to go to 11 and I noticed they don’t teach us anything of what we really need the only reason I learned any of it was my AV tech teacher because we had a bunch of extra time

Educational System Flaws

I am making a school project about the educational system and its flaws. I’m looking for personal opinions on what people think are the biggest problems with schools, the school system, and the way we approach learning. What do you think the main flaws are, and how can they affect a person?
I’m not referring to student-related issues such as smoking, vaping, or bullying.

Elementary schools

My daughter had had problems with this school for a while. She has been labeled the bad kid. Anytime something happens and my kid is there its automatically her fault even if she did nothing wrong. Apparently the other day the principles tried to say she was jumping seats on the bus. She claims to me she was not. Fast forward to last Friday she did get off the bus calling the bus driver a bitch. I know that is wrong she knows thats wrong I told her to apologize when she got to school on Monday and before I could really talk to her about what happened the school called and said she was suspended off the bus for the last 2 weeks of school. Yes she should have some consequences for what she said. Fast forward to monday I took her to the school and asked to talk to the principles because there is no way I can get her back and forth to school. I dont have any money for gas and my car might break down in the car rider line. When I told them this they talked to me like a five year old and told me my child was also jumping seats (she was not) so the could not change the punishment. I suggest maybe a few days off the bus or I could just bring her the days that they had testing. Sound reasonable to me. They acted as if I wasn't even there like they mad up there mind before I walked in. I got upset with them because what am I supposed to do in that situation its like they just didnt want to listen and where very unsympathetic. And because I got loud and stood up for my child they are trying to stop me from goin to my child's graduation. At this point I am done with this school. I would like some advice if I was in the wrong. Mind you I have never ever gotten loud like that ever. I just dont know what to do at this point. My daughter is also a straight A student and does struggle with some mental health issues. What should I do?

What’s an opinion about college life that would get you cancelled instantly?

Most college students don’t actually hate studying they hate studying things they know won’t help them 5 years later.

Also, attendance rules treat adults like school kids.

What’s your “this might get me downvoted” college opinion?

Nobody told you that school was designed to produce employees.

Nobody told you that school was designed to produce employees.

Not thinkers.

Not builders.

Not problem solvers.

Employees.

Sit in a row.

Listen to one person talk.

Memorize the answer.

Repeat it back correctly.

Get rewarded.

Sound familiar?

That is not education.

That is training for a system that needed obedient workers in 1850.

We kept the system.

We lost the reason.

Now in 2025 we are putting that same system online.

Calling it EdTech.

Raising millions on it.

And wondering why nobody finishes the course.

Because the course was never the problem.

The assumption was.

The assumption: if we give people more information, they will grow.

The hidden truth: people do not have an information problem.

They have an application problem.

They have a permission problem.

They have a belief problem.

No course fixes that.

No certificate fixes that.

No 12 week cohort fixes that.

The investor asked the EdTech founder:

how many enrolled?

Not — how many changed?

Not — how many built something?

Not — how many think differently now?

Just — how many enrolled.

And from that one question, everything got designed around enrollment.

Not transformation.

So we built platforms that sell the feeling of learning.

Not learning itself.

You have 14 half-finished courses on your laptop right now.

You are not lazy.

You were sold a product designed to feel like progress.

One question worth asking before you buy the next course:

What assumption am I trying to fix with more information?

Answer that honestly.

And you will not need the course.

My School Forced Me to Pay $6k or Drop Out Because they screwed me over

I genuinely don’t know what to do and feel completely stuck right now.

I just finished my sophomore year, and I recently found out I was required to complete a specific MIS course within my first four semesters or I’d have to change my major. The problem is that no advisor ever told me this. It also wasn’t a prerequisite for any of my other classes, so there was never any indication there was a strict deadline tied to it.

Now I’m suddenly being billed around $6k for summer tuition because I have to take the course immediately to stay in my program. I asked if there was any kind of appeal process since I was never informed about this requirement, but so far I haven’t really gotten answers.

I honestly feel blindsided. I can’t just afford an unexpected $6,000 bill, and now I’m stressed trying to figure out how I’m supposed to stay in my major while also supporting myself.

Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Is there anyone specific at a university I should be contacting besides advisors/financial aid? Any advice would seriously help.

Question for the parents

How the fuck do parents put up with putting their sons and daughters to school???

I get for some places it's mandatory even if the parents don't want them to go but there is still a way out (stuff like telling the goverment it's homeschooling)

And the thing that pisses me off the most is when the parents HAVE the option to drop them out and they STILL don't do it.

What kind of love is this?

Seeing their child suffer?

For.. what???

Not sure if this is fake or not- Asking you guys about it.

I was on doxbin (doing my stuff on opsec)

And I found a dox from earlier today that supposedly has a handful of leaks from Instructure.com and the schools/systems that uses it.

When you click on it, it basically shows you the full name, the email, and the passwords as well as other personal information of students/staff of those schools...

I don't want to put the link here because I'm not entirely sure if its allowed (its a doxbin lol)

Is this fake and someone larping ShinyHunters or is this an actual real thing that their doing and I never knew 😭

School is so easy and full of arrogant idiots

It's never talked about how school is full of (mostly) easy and basic stuffs that you could learn from scrolling on tiktok videos. Such examples are historical figures, eras, definitions, simple ethics, and so forth. There was a time where i was forced to sit through a lecture about the definition of ''Jargon'' and using context clues for TWO hours. Any rational individual can take just a minute or two to learn everything taught within those two hours. To top it off my classmates were still troubled with the topic at hand. Now, i'm not one to boast, i am naturally a slow learner myself. But definitions of a term are elementary stuffs, everyone can agree on that. It is so funny and almost enraging how there are actual people being extremely competitive at this level of academics and refer to themselves as ''smart'' (the irony!). Now this is just my personal experience (Initial point still stands), but i'm sure others have similar experiences as well.

going to school is completely useless.

i dropped out of school at grade 11, because of learning difficulties, i failed maths in high school and got an E every time, which is the australian version of getting an F. i only knew my multiplication until now, 11 years of my life wasted.. but i just learned how to answer arithmatic math in 60 seconds from a youtube short... 2²+5⁵=29

it is so simple, but school is too useless to even teach me that in the timespan of 3 years, not including the other years where i wasnt actually learning that level of math. 60 SECONDS!
