Not true my good sir!

While I agree that school is very very very important (even though it definitely needs an overhaul), they never taught me shit about anarchy, or music, etc and those are the things I usually argue about. I'll be frank, the net has been a big part of my education and I'm better for it. Until schools are changed and improved, they're just secondary, unfortunately, instead of having the net and school compliment each other.

"And class, anarchy is when there is no government and people fall into chaos and disarray and fight for leadership."

In response to something Obdurate said about anarchy once, that all people would have to agree on it so that it would work, which was good in theory but would never happen, any government type could work if everybody agreed on it and worked to keep it running perfectly. Utopia.

Just last year I took a class in music. It wasn't theory. It was just like different styles and people. However, budget issues made the school consider ending the bus service to anyone passed the 6th grade. Since many people would have to end up walking, (and I myself would have to make an hour's walk to get there in the morning), they decided to keep the buses, and instead fire a bunch of teachers and end the music program (which just might mean band and chorus but could also mean the classes associated with them).

Another problem with our education: it's underfunded.

lol, don't forget "And anybody who claims to be an anarchist should be avoided at all cost, or brutally assaulted, as they enjoy explosions."
I've been trying to find the movie, The Anarchist Cookbook, because I hear it's absolutely absurd so I think it'd be fun! I haven't read the book either but I've read a bunch about it.

Well, anarchy is more than just lack of government YANNO? The reason I picked anarchy, instead of some other ideology, was because it's the only one that allows actual freedom.

For example:
Situation: You have a government or authority (leaders of fun little groups that you do for fun and things like that don't count as authority, that'd be crazy) running your country.

Faults in that, which make it more dystopian than utopian by default: Government/authority automatically puts someone 'above' you. They run YOUR life. It assumes you aren't able to handle yourself, which can also lead to just as much unnecessary conflict as it does necessary, meaning it could do just as much harm as good.
Countries lead to nationalism, which leads to... well you know, if unchecked.

I mean, capitalism, private property/ownership... tons of other problems. VOTE ANARCHY 4 PREZ!

(and yes, anarchy may never happen, lol)


And the xfactor, there are some things I learned in school that I've forgotten, no doubt. I wasn't dismissing the school system entirely. I mean, I learned how to do math and all that in school. What I'm saying is, the education system needs to be overhauled completely because it just doesn't benefit people like it should. In fact, some aspects of it are downright destructive.

For example:
Hypothetically speaking, why do you take courses you don't need? Why do you spend tons of time doing homework as it stunts other growth that is necessary for people? Why, so often, do things come down to mere memorization? Why didn't I learn about anarchy in school? Why were things twisted around, or downright lies? AND MORE, but you probably get the point.
Mind you, I understand that University is better, and those points were mainly aimed at high school. But there are problems with Uni as well, and a big one is cost. That's a massive issue.

I enjoy going to school. Of course some of the information has been changed or is false, but you just have to read between the lines and figure out what is closer to what actually happened, and there is an abundance of knowledge to be learned about Math and Science that could help you in many ways. You also improve your ability to figure things out and solve problems, by going to school, and figuring out forumulas.

Going to school is a good way to better yourself and learn something, and make more money.
