Think about it for a moment. You go to dark, dull building full of other rowdy students they same age as yourself. You get stuck in a cinder block room for 8 hours a day, for about 9 months a year. You learn the same garbage material over and over, year after year. For 12 years .... holy ************. So if that's the best for years of your life, that's a very, very sad life.
Without a doubt, that expression is to help mold the disobedient kids into obedient ones. Train for the work force. It isn't an accident that the structure of a work place and a school is almost the same.
“High school is the best 4 years of your life” needs a remake. It isn't an honest expression. It should be more of “High school is a waste of 4 years of your life where teachers break your independent will, stifles your creativity and where you learn civil servitude.”
Of course school tries to mold you. But the question is, will you let them break you independent will?
Another comment I like: “just wait until you get into the real world!” Teachers like to mutter those words to scare the students into obeying them. And they're right about the “real world” because high school is a sheltered place to train kids. Teaching kids at school is just a clever guise for them to actually brain wash them into obedient civic workers.
So the next time someone – especially a teacher – tells you that high school is the best four years of your life, don't be afraid to call on the BS. Or smack the person with your dingy dangy. It's entertaining. |
haha you sure like to throw big rocks into ponds to see where the ripples end up.
Anyway I completely agree with you, although I think your viewpoint that your expressing here and the viewpoint of society are both on the extreme side. Its nice though that somebody is stepping up to the plate to give some counterbalance to the popular (unhealthy) belief 'school is everything' when your young. There are good points in the school systems, they are just hard to find...
