The point isn't that school shouldn't exist, it's how it's implemented that's the issue, what you are being taught and the way you are being taught are intended not for YOUR benefit, but more for the people who created the system in the first place so they can have more uniform and mechanical workers stripped of individuality, that's the problem. Learning things that will be useful in life is good, but in the current school system in most countries, you get pummeled with tons of work and studying on things that you will absolutely never end up using even once after you are out of school. It's good to learn a wide variety of things, but doing it in a way that intentionally overworks the kids isn't the right way to go about it.
Read that in Fenneko's voice.

No.
I said that
-schools are useful (and used) for indoctrination.
-it is wrong to assume sb is not educated if he/she did not attend a school.

While I have met my fair share of capable people that did not do school then if we are doing probabilities.

Similarly is home schooling not a useful and used method of indoctrination?

As for schools themselves then I don't know where you got the idea that schools are a new concept and used for high level learning -- universities, apprenticeships, assistants to experts... hundreds of years, if not thousands there. Indeed such things were the main place one would have expected to get such training rather than a family member.

OP
Sorry for spamming your thread, man. You should see even more doctors. Don't tell the new doctors about what the others think.
How did you lose your daughter? (you don't need to answer)
How did u find out about your health problem?

It's okay... I can talk about it.

So... I will try to short it out as much as possible:

About me:
I was 14 years old. Began to feel sick, tired, dizzy, nauseous... thought this would last for a short time, but I began to worry when I started to spit blood, nose bleeding, chest pain and what not.
My parents, worried about me, took me to the hospital. I lost two semesters of highschool. Lost all my friends, grades and girlfriend.
Then, after a rough 8 months or so of studies, doctors told me that there was nothing to do for me, but a heart transplant. That I had a heart dissease that is making my heart growing, and that eventually it will fail.
They gave me until I were 28 if I was lucky. No alcohol, no smoking, no sleep depravation, no stress and probably I could "have" a normal life. I've had 2 strokes since then.

About my daughter:
Got cancer. Took her to the hospital. Got operated... but apparently some stupid asshole infected her with a bacteria.
She lasted just one week after the operation. She had lots of seizures... she stopped eating... walking... eating... etc. etc... became a vegetal until she died.

Life is fucked man. I'm so sorry dude. This may not mean much in the grand scheme, but I appreciate you and acknowledge the hardships you go through. I wish you nothing but peace.

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
