Holy shit. Someone saying that THE MODERN HIGH SCHOOL IS DESIGNED TO PREPARE STUDENTS TO GO TO PRISON is being upvoted. Further,saying that HAVING A SCHEDULE is designed to prepare people for industrial society is astounding.

Maybe, it is easier for teachers to function on a bell-schedule? Maybe, tons of people change their profession?

But no, on reddit High School is worse than Hitler.

Is the reason that they don't need help because they don't have to do things that they need help in? I can't fathom anyone believing that a student who 'needs help' in a traditional school, moves to your's and suddenly learns better? Are you sure its not just that they stop really having to apply themselves to learning core subjects?

"Oh, my kid isn't motivated, s/he probably won't do well here" only to turn out that they just weren't motivated to do things they hated in traditional school.

"In more concrete terms, I've learned to love reading, and throughout my life, I've read most of the books that are required reading in high school of my own volition. I've learned a fair bit of math, since that's something I'm interested in, up to about mid-level algebra. I've learned some acting skills, and, more importantly, some stage managing and producing skills. Me and another student were solely responsible for starting a theatre program at my school, which required, for example:"

"Generally, I'll arrive at school in the morning, head into the computer room, maybe play some video games, maybe just chat with some friends. I might go play some card games or board games over lunch, if I don't have some meeting to go to. If I've got rehearsal for a play, that usually comes next. At the end of the day, every student is required to do about 10-15 minutes of cleaning, so I'll do that, and then head home."

I think I've cracked the code as to why that happens.

What would you have changed about your design for the Infinity Stones if they were instead Finite Stones?

What is your plan if acting doesn't work out? Or if you can't get into college? Don't you think your lack of a traditional HS diploma will hurt your future in life?
