I think you mean society is a joke.

[Olle Nyrén]

Ah, well, you see, that's where you're wrong: school is not an absolutely determined thing, but rather something that should revolve around different ways of learning. Perhaps your school was a joke, or someone else's school was, etc. etc., but that doesn't mean that all schools have always been, are, and will always be "a joke." Peace to thee, friend.

I did go to college, I majored in psychology but I definitely wouldn't consider myself an expert on the subject. You are probably right that it's a western thing because teenagers are drawn to what is considered "cool" in society and it just happens that hedonism, rebelliousness, drugs, sex, partying, and destructive behavior is what's considered "cool" in western society but that's not what's cool in all cultures. I did take a couple anthropology classes, it was pretty interesting.

the bit about A. Einstein leaving school is not true. He left because his family had moved to Italy, where he went right back to school. It is true that he didn't finish high school, because he went directly to college at 15/16 years old.

[UncleChevitz]

not quite true, but very perceptive. being a complete asshole is also learned.

Have you finished college yet? take some anthropology, I'm sure you will like it. I'm an engineering major, but to me, anthropology is the most interesting and useful of the humanities. I learned a lot about the human condition, especially from cultural anthropology.

This video sometimes confuses western culture with human behavior.

E.G. Teenage rebelliousness is a western thing, not intrinsic human behavior.

The only education that works is:

EARLY STIMULUS (under 5 years old)

The rest is just to keep that

Starting from now, explore numerous activities that might be your passion :)

[Mary Potter]

Stupid is as stupid is taught

[Trawerton11]

This view of education is very similar to mine... In particular, I think that in schools youngster should have the possibility to create and express themselves continuously. In the contrary, what we observe (what I observe in Italy) is that children are taught about anything, without stimulating their critical skills and their creativity... Future of education should be much closer to the one of the video rather than the present one (at least for my country).

I'm just saying it's a little overly optimistic about people. A vast majority will "drink, smoke do shit".

[lolimsofly]

He didn't say DRINK DRINK, SMOKE DO SHIT, let the ones who actually will DO something in life live that way.
