    yeah and it’s important. You wanna see what happens when you neglect school? Look at America.

      It might be important, but also inefficient and genuinely terrible to live through for many people. I don’t understand how some people can look back fondly of school, mine was fucking awful.

      In my 5 years at secondary school in the UK, 2 teachers arrested for rape of a student, one disappeared with no statement given after getting into a fist fight with a student and teachers looking the other way at violence between kids was a daily occurrence. Often went home with bruises and no one cared, told our head of year before and he blamed me for it, apparently climbing a tree means I deserve to be thrown into a wall and pushed into a main road.

      My country has one of the best educations in the world. I was pretty decent in essays as well. But in no way did I particularly enjoy them. So idk what your point is.

        Nobody said you have to enjoy them, learning how to formulate and structure your thought process is still important

          Okay, they did not say you have to enjoy them, but…

          like ppl should write essays because they wanna say something.

          That’s not why most people write essays. Like, cmon.

          And yes, it’s important. That doesn’t mean we have to pretend we want to write essays for some reason.
