Percussive education

The fine art of bludgeoning a student in order to encourage them to learn faster.

Similair in concept to Percussive Maintenance, but appplied to a person rather than an inanimate object.
The users have asked the same damn question for the hundredth time, perhaps a little 'Percussive education' will help them remember the answer

comprehensive education

British socialist experiment (further enhanced by successive generations of hapless politicians) that forced fee paying schools out of business, raised the school leaving age and tried to give all children between 4 and 16 a basic education in several subjects. 'Basic' is about as good as it gets for most victims forced as they are into mind-numbing boredom, despair and violence. Most schools are like open, juvenile prisons. Still, American state schools make every one of 'em look like Oxford!
teenage pregnancy? routine bullying? can't read and write without the aid of 15 years further education? teacher's all suicidal? no future? no motivation? no prospects? It has to be comprehensive education!

American Education System

A human rights violation. The baby boomer teachers working there are complete narcissists, who think you owe them every bit of respect for nothing more than them being older than you. They talk down on you and treat you worse than dogshit. You're loaded with fucking stacks and stacks of work just so the boomer teacher narcissists can punch in your grade and get their paycheck.

They don't care about your future. They act like they want you to get into college. Schools put you through mental, social, and emotional torture. Hell, even they physically torture you when they make you hold your piss in order to not be "rude by disrupting the class".

I will NEVER in my life send my kids here. I'm going to homeschool them so they actually fucking learn something and don't get put through hard labor. I'm going to send smart, intelligent, and happy kids out into the real world, unlike these douche bags in the public schools. They put traumatized and depressed young adults into the world. And then we wonder why young adults are so mentally unwell. They encourage left wing ideals, homosexuality, and everything else God disapproves of.

I have respect for the good teachers, you know exactly who you are. I've had a few good teachers, and them simply respecting me and not being a narcissist can do SO much to change my attitude for their class. All they have to do is not be a narcissist, and they've already got loads of my respect.

But sadly, those teachers are a minority at this point.
The American Education System is to blame for all the issues with young adults in the US.

education

A trait that Karl Rove fears greatly. The amount of education one possesses is inversely proportional to the enthusiasm of the Republican party at the prospect of him/her voting.
"As people do better, they start voting like Republicans...unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing." - Karl Rove
