While I don't like school for those reasons, I also don't like how I don't get any options to actually learn stuff. Especially stuff that I care about. (I do learn some things, but not much.)
I personally like math, but we have spent more than a week on basic sin/cos/tan/csc/sec/cot curves doing things I already know.
Also, I don't like stress. Some amount of stress is bad, but I don't care about my grades anymore because that was too much stress. (I'm good at school, so I can get good grades just by doing my homework, the increase isn't worth the stress.)
I've also noticed the few adults (mostly my mom/relatives) I've talked to in real life about school (I've talked to other people in running start (college classes in high school) or at game jams, but not about how I don't like school.) seem to be of the opinion that I "need to learn stuff and things."
If I learn less after school I will be very disappointed, because I'm pretty much terrible at everything I do and I need to get decent at something.
- germinalphrase 12y agoThe real relevance of content in school is often terrible, but until we can truly figure out what we care to educate our children about (which is exceedingly difficult without being able to agree on what skills will be needed in the future economy) compulsory education will remain hindered in this way. At least for me, I would like to see a de-emphasis of content and A stronger focus on preparing young people to educate themselves, to be curious about our world. If you bring this to the table on your own I would hardly worry about 'learning less after school'. After all, only you have done your learning this far in life. School is only one structure for learning (that is often expected to be/treated as if it's the only one).
