It's always going to matter to those fools ignorant enough to segregate their fellow man in their mind and in life, and the reasons they do this is because of the ignorance passed down through generations. This ignorance has been perpetuated by the shittier than shitty schools these minorities must attend because of state and government negligence. This is an important aspect of the flaws of the government funded school system.

To those of a somewhat more open-minded way of thinking, skin color doesn't matter.

I guess not, I don't know why I said that.
What point, exactly, were you trying to make?

Nevermind, man.

I agree the school system could be much better. The problem with changing it (and anything in society these days) is that if reform doesn't happen rapidly, people loose interest and grow apathetic. And with something like education, where it takes years to see tangible results... well, I doubt we've got the attention-span or moral coordination to handle it.

I was insinuating that your uppity nature and your school's racial issues were likely due to you having attended school decades ago, making you bitter and senile. I realize that this is likely not the case, so don't bother correcting me.

It was a failed internet funny, and now everyone knows. Thanks.

This applies to everyone who has attended public schools.

There are many things that come to mind when one thinks of the word "high school," which vary from person to person. Everyone's experience of high school was different. For some people, it conjures up things such as hating the experience, being an outcast, and random boners when the class is going up to the board in turns and you're next. Yet for some, it incites the memories of being popular, having a good time, and hating on the former group of people described mercilessly in the twisted and cruel social hierarchy of school. Though all students can be split into these two groups, they all have one thing in common. This commonality is the fact that we are all victims of the true intention of the public school system, and its impact on the rest of our lives. Its role is to subordinate us, to keep us children as long as possible; and turn us into viable candidates for employees, whose only purpose in life to the government is to help feed its economy.

Going through school, knowing that its main function in society has become not to educate, but to subordinate, really makes one hate even attending. I love to learn, but the environment that public schools provide is so counteractive to a positive and healthy learning experience that I loathed every moment I was there. This exacerbated my already existing anxiety in social situations. There are so very many factors that contribute to this corruption of the school system, ranging from teachers that have ulterior motives in what they want to teach to the fact that less money is spent on Education than War, which leads us to the root of all the problems: the System itself. Trying to find ways to fix the problems it created in the first place, which just creates more problems in the process.

This is not to say that there are not good schools or teachers, because there are. This brings me to the conclusion of the problem that I have outlined.

There are "Free Skools" are out there, which exist void of the hierarchies of other schools and offer a wide range of classes and workshops. From Wikipedia:

"Free Skool Santa Cruz in California is perhaps typical of a new batch of free schools that are explicitly rooted in an anarchist tradition of collectivism, autonomy, and self-reliance, and feature informal, non-authoritarian learning outside of the monetary economy."

Personally, I see these alternative ideas to schooling as the true American Dream. Although this cliché I speak of is rooted in the raping and pillaging of the incredibly beautiful and diverse American Landscape, one can't help but identify with the phrase if raised American.

As I understand it, this dream that has come about from the American phenomenon over the past 200+ years, is defined as the dream of being completely free, which means being completely self-sufficient. Obviously, this dream has become somewhat impossible to achieve. We are put through institutions (public schools) which lead us into lives that illustrate our fealty to the System. Here is what Wikipedia says of the American Dream:

"American Dream can be defined as having the opportunity and freedom that allows all citizens to achieve their goals in life through hard work and determination alone. Today, it generally refers to the idea that one's prosperity depends upon one's own abilities and hard work, not on a rigid class structure, though the meaning of the phrase has changed over America's history. For some, it is the opportunity to achieve more prosperity than they could in their countries of origin; for others, it is the opportunity for their children to grow up with an education and career opportunities; for others, it is the opportunity to be an individual without the constraints imposed by class, caste, race, or ethnicity."

Unfortunately, class does exist in America, as it is unavoidable with a Capitalistic economy, which finds its way into our everyday lives in this country one way or another.




Off topic but -- You have a way with words man :smile:

Good writing.

i started getting high at age 15, started eating mushrooms at 16. then once i was fairly "aware" i looked around at the people i was surrounded by at school, and realized how fucking rediculous everyone was. people are so fucking stupid and egotistical. i dropped out junior year at age 17, and immediately got my GED.

dont regret a damn thing, except for not fucking around a lot more in class and pissing people/teachers off. my german class was the shit though, i do miss that. just cause of this complete moron who was in the class with us, he would do anything we told him to. our german teacher had an unhealthy obsession with yard gnomes. we told this loser to steal one of the teachers desk when no one was around. then later one of the other kids in class told on him, and he got caught with it. it was hilarious.




That is e-fucking-xactly my high school story... besides the gnomes.
