This post was spot on! I am graduating this Thursday June 1, 2017 and I feel like the past 4 years of my life have been complete wastes of time. I had learned all the basics of math, writing, reading and even geography by the 8th grade. They continuing of elaborating on these subjects was a complete waste. The schools are more worried about our attendance so that they get their allotted money. The teachers are the only ones that actually care about the students and understand the school system is ruined and corrupt. I am sad that I could not partake in the future schooling system and had my time wasted. I am very grateful that the future is on the horizon and things are changing for the better.

More or less, they want you to be kept in line
Having been out of high school now for several decades and also having had the experience of substitute teaching, I've come to doubt that most teachers really care about the students. For one thing, the teachers' union likes to portray teaching as the most important and practically the hardest profession in the world, when it's not.
