HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
that is my only response to that absolute bullshit
Look, school is an academic institution. It's not designed to teach you how to "survive on your own", and that's fine. You should be learning that shit at home; by the time I was in my last year of school I was cooking dinner and taking care of large sections of the housework, and had learned what I needed to know to get by, particularly with the aid of the internet.
The responsibility of school isn't to teach you everything you need to know about life. This video complains that it's just about the state trying to control us and that it doesn't teach us anything, while simultaneously acting as if somehow it's the responsibility of this institution to take over the job of parenting from the actual parents. Your parents should be the ones who teach you life skills, that isn't what school is for, and of course if that's the way you think about schools you're gonna get people with no life skills. They aren't a babysitting institution.
School is, as an academic institution, aiming to introduce you to a broad range of fields so that you can further pursue your interests past the end of school. It gives you a taste, and it's your responsibility to pursue it past that point, either by studying yourself, or going to college, or whatever you need to achieve competence in that field. Although I feel the "barely qualified to flip burgers" part is exaggerated, I don't see what more people expect - if you never bother to learn anything other than what it spoonfed to you for free, then what do you expect? To attain competence in anything you have to work hard and study yourself, and it isn't reasonable to criticise the state or your school if you never do or learn anything for yourself, whether those things be academic or practical.
This is just a refutation of the utter crap in that video; I certainly feel there are severe issues with the school system here in the UK and the one in the US, and that they should be reformed. But not for the reasons stated in that video. That was laughable horseshit, imo.
