All children learn how to do in school is lie and smoke.

I agree with the above pirates, all school taught me was you need money and a title to get heard otherwise you're ****ed and it applies everywhere and to everyone I have met.

Those aren't private schools.... I see the public education system has done you well.

I am hooked on learning, to the point where this obsession means I consume devour and live of knowledge and not that biased crap you see on media related stuff or opinions without any facts.

I never bothered attending school, college or even uni and would get flamed ALOT for not attending but I would show up for every exam and hand in all my stuff on time, in UK theres like some attendance scoring and mine has ALWAYS been **** fortunately my grades were always flawless so I managed to get away with not attending majority of my classes.

I am not sure how it works in other countries but in UK the schools are a joke, college was even worse and uni I must admit was ok but still screwed up, the way I saw stuff 5 hours of learning something at home was equivalent of a month of school / college / uni, sadly certain things had to be taught in a controlled environment (take biology / chemistry for example) but it even got to a point where I just gave up on being bored and learning the same crap.

No this isnt me bragging I am just simply saying a person ANY person can easily educate themselves with proper resources, I did spend alot but I just never worked well with teachers playing the "we bare a title therefore we are in charge by default and theres nothing you can do about that" but then what am I saying these primitive rules have been around for centuries ;) and I doubt they will change anytime soon.

Besides, aspirations were ****ed too almost everyone wanted to study because "they had a trauma in their life and wanted to work towards something that was closely linked to the trauma", "following the family role, with or without choice" or my personal favourite "I am going to revise all of this yet not understand it, pass it get lots of money".

In short the way education works is a complete disaster, so I wonder how and why there are soo many bums in UK compared to lets say Sweden where people value knowledge and information.

Oh and no im not a bum or poor or unemployed but I am my own boss, I dont bare a title and no money isnt and will never be my priority, ironically enough those that donÆt base their life on money freely get in huge doses
FIRST!!

More than 700 teachers would lose their jobs, including all first-, second- and third-year instructors.
