Schule

You'd always hear the kids say "School is useless because they don't teach you anything useful, and you can get a job without going to school!"

I always used to think that was a major coping mechanism people resort to when they get a low test grade. I still do think that, but there is still some truth to it.

The main reason school exists is for people to become educated, right? However, the education system seems to prioritize numbers over actual learning. I am not saying schools don't teach useful classes—I actually believe that every core class (mathematics, English, science, social studies) is very useful (not specifically for practical application, but for developing critical thinking).
