But this is exactly what school is about, training you that you're nothing but a cog in the machine, teaching you to accept getting beaten down over nothing just because someone higher up the chain from you made a decision and why would he ever consult you in that decision you're just a lowly student/worker.
Lol that was not my experience. School taught me how to fight against oppression. It was everywhere
You went to a shit school then. Mine taught critical thinking, problem solving and working as a group to achieve a common goal. It also highly encouraged independent extracurricular activities with all sorts of clubs/teams that got school funding to finance their work. If you wanted it to be, you had a giant playground for academically inclined people experimenting and wanting to learn.
you are either not american or homeschooled or got a lucky tech school in the 90’s.
There's a seminal essay called "Student as Ni__er" which will probably illuminate the other person's point a little clearer.
