Why modern western school is shit

Clarkton
I attend school regularly. Regularly enough to realize school produces completely incompetent, useless, mindless, egotistical, arrogant idiots.

Why?

I don't know how school used to be before 2000 but I suspect schools back then were better than schools now. No one can think for themselves and this isn't a surprise taking into consideration the way schools educate students.

Take math, for example, the modern way only teaches you to apply concepts, this is an ineffective way of teaching as one should understand the concept itself before applying it. This way of "learning" is shallow and will not give a complete understanding.

The core idea will always give you an upper hand in excelling because it enables you to understand things more deeply. Understanding things deeply is essential to be competent at anything. The problem is no one bothers to understand things properly because they are arrogant and think they know it all.

Not being able to think for yourself is only one of the issues school creates. There are many other individual problems but this problem leads to most problems school creates.

The entire idea of school is to teach students things necessary to manage in society. The idea of school is good, and the execution was also alright but school at this stage is unmanageable.

This is why society is failing, because of idiots that obey modern rules.

Sadly I still have many years to go.

You can still do "well" in school by approaching learning from fundamentals. In fact, it's much easier like this, You'll excel because everything will make sense to you. As for the things you don't understand you can easily figure it out because you understand the core idea.

School doesn't produce idiots. Idiots are born.

The schools that idiots attend are governed by other idiots. There's no surprise there.

When there's no evolutionary pressure, nature (i.e. God) produces idiots. There's no surprise there.

So what do you think of my Arkian idea as a solution?
I think it's good insofar as it's your honest, instinctive effort to try to build a community. It's in your genes. On the other hand, us neurodiverse people tend to be rather individualistic, most of us are natural leaders. It probably comes from the ancient (possibly Neanderthal) roots, when people hunted in pairs, one man and one woman. Even on this forum there are only a handful of people; even if most of them are not sock puppets, it's still far from being a force. So I don't see a great chance of being able to build that community, cause the kind of people that could respond to it are already sucked into and fooled by gigantic manipulation schemes, and the rest, those couple of nonmorons all have their own dreams waiting to be fulfilled, with them being the protagonist.

No matter how honest, moral and pure our views are, there are very few people left that can even understand that there is a problem.

There also seems to be a correlation to people of certain ethnicities (usually European and East Asian) that have a higher chance to be honest, pure and moral, and they tend not to be into Abrahamic religions, having their own personal interpretations of these things.

When you say "modern rules" do you mean the rules of liberalism and feminism?

No, liberalism and feminism are a different issue. I used modern rules in the context of the school system, I explained this in the post.

You don't think feminism affects education?

Fornication is the gateway sexual offence that led to gay marriage and transgenderism.

I live in the UK, as far as I've experienced, feminism hasn't taken a toll on education yet.

May I know how old you are and whether you have heard of Will Knowland?

I am 16 years old, I heard about him before but I didn’t look into it properly. From what I can see, he seems to be reasonable.

While Knowland makes reasonable points, he is intellectually and politically crippled by his antisemitism and Islamophobia.
