| Yup. American English if you want to split hairs. I personally have adopted a couple British-English slang terms into my vocabulary (e.g. snog) cuz I like how they sound. |

| English is my native language. I can also speak a little bit of German, nowhere near perfect but enough that I've written snail-mail letters to people in Germany before in their own language and they understood me. |

The biggest question: Latin American Spanish or European Spanish? Both of them are two very different things.
| @MalchikRepaid You are right, it's Latin American Spanish |

@KitsuFrost what makes you think English is easy to learn?
| @DesuMaiden The verbs are relatively easier than the ones in my native language, plus the sentences order isn't anything out of the ordinary like in eastern languages (cyrilic alphabet, asian languages etc) |

As such, poetry will always matter more than domestic finance. It is incredibly short-sighted to only teach what has an obvious application, for you are not training robots but human beings. Ask yourself: when has public school ever taught students how to be intellectually independent? When has it ever taught them anything about their culture? Maybe it's different where you are. I highly doubt it, but it has never been the case here. Children do not care about being "intellectually independent" in school. Those who do quickly find out that the system does not encourage that, and only rewards those who think on the beaten path. Even in ART of all things! And they definitely do not care about their culture in school. They only care about getting by, and not stepping on any toes, because that is the way that the institution is designed. It is not designed to foster individual thought, it is designed to teach a very specific curriculum, with a very rigid grading structure, that creates a sort of antagonistic approach towards learning. The conservative argument that "it's either you shut up and do the curriculum or you are on the streets" is not how schooling should be structured, and it's such an awful way to approach education. (I am not saying that is your position, by the way, I am just using that as an example of the common response when any criticism of the system is brought up) Public school is the quickest way to drain any kind of passion or enthusiasm towards educating yourself on any subject. Those who advocate for public schooling are the ones who advocate for training robots rather than human beings. That's just how I see it. It's a one size fits all solution to a population that is incredibly diverse in terms of it's needs and accommodations, and the public school system fails to accommodate for that.

But your rants only show that you have no idea about what constitutes a decent meal for the soul. Public school is indoctrination precisely for the reasons I outlined above, and indeed part of your criticisms as well. Though you wrongfully place the blame on my critiques, when the folly is the institution itself. The public school system does not produce anything other than people with room temperature IQ that can do nothing but fill out tax forms -it's even worse than that. The entire purpose of the institution is to direct children towards a 9-5 work schedule, where they are willing to work for nothing, and completely destroy their interest in pursuing real knowledge that would better their lives and education. The end result of public school is to create workhorses, because it's those obedient workhorses who pay the most in taxes. It has nothing to do with elevating the minds of students, it limits their approach towards education, and boils it down to nothing more than grades and scores. Another part of the bureaucratic waste pile. You antagonize me, for not understanding the "soul" yet your critiques can very well be applied to the public school system, from my position. You even admit the problems of the system. It seems we have the same goal, but for some reason you vilify me when you already understand that the problem lies in the institution itself. Why are you antagonizing me if we share similar goals? Meusnier said: You should be free to homeschool yours kids and only teach them boring topics of immediate application, but do not complain when you find out that you have produced fools or monsters. This is not at all what I am talking about. There is so much more to life that they don't teach you in school. You want to produce fools and monsters? That's what you already have. A little more freedom in the way we approach education, and individual learning is not going to make things worse -it can only make it better. We literally have nothing to lose from trying alternative methods of education. |
