A place where you learn things, then unlearn those things to relearn the things you need to learn to take a test in highschool. Then you go to college and learn more things that you dont really need in the real world, college AKA school. Then after your done with college (average 5 years for underclassmen) you can go to work to unlearn the things youve spent 26 years of your life learning for the outside world to forget it all and learn more. Poit: school is pointless, but you have to go to have a life.
School is a waste of time.

Get the school mug.A place where it is now impossible, in the UK at least, to get a decent education thanks to New Labour dumbing down the UK's schools, making exams easier than ever and generally ensuring everyone grows up stupid enough to vote them back in again. NL MPs go on about how everyone should be bottom equal in everything, despite sending their own children to the finest private schools in the land. They are also banning anything which encourages children to be competitiveness. The teachers are no longer allowed to so much as raise their voices, meaning teaching is even more impossible. Before long we will have an uneducated generation, aside from the super-rich elite. The founders of communist China and Russia would be proud of Tony Bliar and his puppet-masters.
The 'A*' grade was invented to con people into thinking children are coming away from school more intelligent than ever, and children who can hardly read or write are being awarded A* in English. Still, as long as the children of the rich do well, that's all that matters according to the New Labour despots.

Get the school mug.The place where we all have to go to for the first eighteen years of our lives, get every ounce of individuality squeezed out of us to create so-called uniformity, and everyone secretly hates each other but everyone hugs everyone else anyways. A big waste of time unless there is a good optional art program in my opinoin.

Get the school mug.
An abominable hellhole where the life is sucked from young people. School takes up about 25% of an entire day, almost every day, until you are in your twenties. School teaches completely useless lessons, like how to find x in 300 different ways. This is never actually used later in life unless you become a math teacher.
School is unbearable torture and is only comparible to one thing... church.

Oh fuck, it's Sunday! I can't beleive we have to go back to school.
I really wish we didn't have school today.
The D.A.R.E. program: Don't have sex, don't drink, don't do drugs, don't be angry, STAY IN SCHOOL! HOORAY!
School is the lowest of all forms of social collaboration and demotes individual thought.

Get the school mug.Unfortunately the closest thing to a meritocracy that the United States provides. (meritocracy = success based on merit)
School was primarily set up to keep kids busy while parents work. The fact that it goes for so long is probably the result of our society going through industrialization. It also is used to teach children what is expected of them in this society: a.k.a. glorifying the middle class (even though only 30% of us are actually IN the middle class!)
It is the No. 1 thing correlated to a bigger paycheck - the higher you get in it, the bigger your earnings later in life.
