because public education is a sham. high school is a waste of time. i could count on both hands the amount of new concepts i learned at my podunk high school in west virginia. teachers have no relevant experience outside a state funded classroom and it shows.  teachers cannot keep their leftist politics out of the classroom. teachers preach about the necessity of a college education to cope with their poor life choices. people who should be teaching the next generation valuable life skills cannot because they have degrees and experience in an actual field and not an education degree. teachers want better pay but provide substandard curriculum. (only partially their fault thank you no child left behind) zero tolerance policies aimed at pushing young men and boys towards the prison industrial complex by targeting behavior normally exhibited by boys. grading system is a sham where if lil' timmy or tammy turns in their homework and cheats on their worksheets they get a b. exam scores are ignored to attempt to not look racist. > tfw valedictorian is now a washed out roastie bartender with mutt children and a useless degree. desu if we at least returned to standard internationally you can argue public education is a worthwhile program. until then i will always rail against it.
