School is where the passion for learning goes to die and the desire to cheat is born

In this day and age, hobbies are the last bastions of passion and curiosity. One who is engaged in a hobby is intrinsically motivated to learn and apply what has been learned in novel ways, just as the scholars of old have done. School, reviled by many a student, has earned its reputation by perverting the concept of learning and exploiting students' passions. The desire to cheat is most unnatural among students, a telltale sign that one's passion and curiosity for the topic at hand has been extinguished, replaced with a desire to rid oneself of a burden, the burden of learning only for the sake of becoming learned.

Yep. Sadly, I'm not sure there's another way for most people. On Lemmy we're mostly nerds, but would most people have learned even basic math if they didn't have to?

In some ways, the most motivated or talented students are just as ill-fitted to the production line system of education as the disabled ones.

What do parents do then when they're working since childcare in the US is fucked

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

That's only half the plan. We cut school hours so kids can work in the mines.

For Lemmy specifically, I don't think police need to be abolished.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

are you saying you don't want to defund the police as a public service and have some sort of for-profit peace keeper mafia instead? what type of anarchism is this
