prepares? it makes you that
my life is so fulfilling right now
it's a state of constant procrastination and lack of enjoyment of anything i want to do

I didn't enjoy school but it did teach me a lot. Tbh I think people too often judge school from their feelings and based on the fact that they don't like it, like wishful thinking. You can find school stressful and that makes total sense and all, but it's a fact that school statistically helps people learn things and become more prepared to do all kinds of work, not that it necessarily does so in the best way possible... If school wasn't good for anything, and those who didn't go to school were truly better off, societies wouldn't bother spending so much money on them. Try considering why building schools and developing education in Africa is considered so high on the list of international development goals. It really isn't an institution that's just there to cause people stress and pain.

School teaches you basic skills and how to think logically, it's not suppose to teach 8th graders how to do taxes, well, unless you do a problem about taxes in math class.

I had a great time in school, loved every bit of it, especially those last two years. Exams never bothered me because I always had a plan B if they dont go well and I dont get to college. But one thing school really does not prepare you for is college, but college prepares you for the rest of life.

I know right that's how I felt when one day my screen went black for a while and I realized I had been sitting playing Blacraft since August 2015. Good thing there's still a few weeks until the exams, now I just need to figure out which courses they automatically randomly put me on

help i've been thinking about how absurd reality is and it started from reading an askreddit thread about dumb rules in schools and school is so arbitrary it's almost as if it's primed for making people think about this arbitrariness - but most people stop once they've thought about how arbitrary school is because nothing else is arbitrary

How is school arbitrary?

For me. Its a means to an end. I'm indifferent to school. Now the pursuit of knowledge, that i have no quarrels with.

How is school arbitrary?
While the process of gathering many children (who otherwise would not be doing useful work) to learn things is not in and of itself arbitrary, the excessive divisions created in school, especially during purported fun activities, is more than enough to bring about me saying that it is arbitrary.
For example, class. While it may have been a useful proxy for intelligence ability when school was a newer concept (especially across the entire society) it is no longer as useful, simply organizing people by age and expecting them all to have the same level of intelligence. Classes have become such an ingrained concept that there is basically no way they could no longer be part of school. It's who you are in the same room with for a much larger portion of the day than everyone else, and who you are often expected to have some form of camaraderie during designated "fun" activities created by the school staff.
Another example of arbitrariness is in the grading system. How does knowing less than 60% of the material on a test or quiz (for Americans) mean that you do not know the subject? Or for that matter, how does knowing 100% of the material on a test or quiz mean you know the subject? While I would agree that getting a 100% generally indicates knowing the subject well enough, there is nothing about only scoring a 60% (unless it is a test where many options can be guessed with a 1/4, 1/5, or 1/2 chance, which many tests are) that specifically indicates that you have obtained sufficient knowledge of the subject.
