The education system is a joke......granted we learn some stuff, history for one thing is important...to quote 'to not learn the past is to repeat the past'........but....what else do we learn??? How is half the stuff crammed into our heads....like rock formations and pythagoras theorem and gooble la good supposed to help us with anything?


And exams..................have they never noticed that every examination only tests the ability of the individual in memorizing junk and spilling out everything? It doesn't test if the person understands, it doesn't test that the individual could think for themselves, it doesn't test any other ability that the individual has like creativity and ambition, emphathy, compassion, existential potential.........it just tests how well you can remember your one protein from another............


To some extent.....essay type subjects would be better than pure sciences, for they actually do ask for opinion and evaluation. It doesn't stop at 'what is this' and 'this is the definitive answer insert here'............it goes on to why, and what if, consideration, judgement and thinking.........................


Yet..............don't our studies already filled out all those questions so in effect we are again pouring out information. All the whys and hows, and pros and cons, situation and possibilities............drilled and redrilled through lessons and work and essays and tests........................


What a joke...............we are a slave of the system...........and all society gains is another generation of past generations.........no wonder we are in a depressive spiral of hatred and wars..............we are repeating the past.........
