Determined to prove the point
High School teacher catches 3 week suspension for using a printed handout of Blue Scholars lyrics of a song criticizing the education system.
I hated school for the entire time I was in it. I loved learning, but school was never really about that. It was pretty clear when I'd finish my homework during class, then start drawing. Teachers were upset that I was doing something with my time - it wasn't about doing the work, or knowing the facts, it was about obedience, pointless obedience.
Ideas and critical thought are counter to obedience, and basically, it's less education and more a dulling of the mind.
Good to see things ain't changed.
