    You’re not supposed to have fun. You’re supposed to learn so you can get a job that you enjoy.

    Hi, elder leftist here. The whole education system is already set up to produce obedient workers. If you don’t believe me, ask yourself how much time is spent teaching kids to organise effectively, or advocate for issues they care about. Or even just build good communication with their classmates, like how to react to bullying.

    All that matters is to follow the authority, don’t question the rules, put the things in your head that they give you and nothing else.

    The reason kids are bored in school is because the current system doesn’t address the real problems they have, so why should they care about the system.
