Since you are on a website that likes to rewrite history. I'm going to say no.

I didn't mean no teaching, just no schools.

schools are now for indoctrination
the goal is to teach you useless things so in the end you will be a useless person
simple

so, since schools teach you critical thinking and social skills

A lot of schools should get shut down since they basically function as nigger daycares and protected overpaid employment for jews.

I bet the average white from the 1800s pre punlic education jewish programming had better social skills than the autists of today beingtold its normal to get replaced by niggers and to cut off their own cocks. Do modern schools even bother teaching grammar or algebra anymore?

>that SJW propaganda show

gotta love the Simpsons, every white guy is a pig a moron or a creep (especially if they are "Christians") but every time a jew makes an appearance he's the just the smartest, most decent, most benevolent person to ever walk the face of the Earth. Fuck the Simpsons.

Nope. In my town, both parents often work. School is a babysitting service. They even offer a cheap option to extend school hours (both morning and afternoon) to accommodate working families.

No amount of instant gratification replaces classical training.

For your children, yes. But the majority is just too dumb for self-education, so it makes sense to perpetuate state schools in order for your kid to have competitive advantage over everyone else.

Schools are a really profitable business, of course they won't be obsolete any soon

>not wanting ned flanders as a neighbour.
Shame on you heathens...

...

Public schools, like all forms of socialism and communism are garbage.
I quit high school when I was 16, had very little understanding of algebra because I slept through that part of school. So imagine my shock when it only took about 3 hours online to learn algebra. 3....hours.
They spend years, literally, in public school drilling that into your head and it takes 3 hours online. Think about that.
Public school, I'm convinced, exists only to prepare people for a life of mediocrity and service to the jews. High school sports for example exist soley to prepare young men for military service.
The whole thing needs to be abolished and if you put your kids in public school, you do not love them.

we live in a age when ignorance is a choice and people are still choosing ignorance so I would say no

>Krusty is smart, decent, and benevolent

Dude, he's notorious for selling dangerously substandard products and overselling resorts, being self-centered and boorish, and literally hijacking the CONELRAD network to stay on TV when Sideshow bob tried to set off that nuke.

He's such a jew stereotype that actual jews have pretested him IRL

When I was in school, nobody learned anything.
It was just a containment center for niggers and spicks.
They didnt learn anything at all and failed everything they did.
They just got free passes to the next grade even though like 95% of them failed standardized testing I was passing without any effort.
I remember I passed the math section without even being shown how to do it because im not a fucking moron.

It's part of the reason I dropped out of college (the other part being that I realized I was leaning lefterer by the day). There's so much more info on the internet, and you can get at the truth, not just what's on your professor's agenda.
Before any of you leftfags call me a poor shit, save for one guy, I'm better off than anyone I know from school.

>Since you are in a country that likes to rewrite history, yes.

ftfy

>american pretending to be a leaf.
Thats me.
>ralph wiggim.
You take that back you faggot.

>High school sports for example exist soley to prepare young men for military service.
Army recruiters literally ask this question.
>did you play any sports in HS.
Youre right.

>The math section
Which course?

schools need to teach employable skills to kids

they currently teach a bunch of useless stuff that is never going to do you any good outside of a standardized test

you need to know how to read, write, some basic math and an employable skill to live in the modern world

Sort of. Kids still need to be guided or they just end up on flash game websites, twitch, youtube, and eventually end up on porn websites and then finally here.

of course I'm right, i played football in high school while I was there and it's essentially boot camp without guns.
Follow orders, stick to the plan, respect the closeted homosexual with a buzz cut yelling at you, run until you puke, ignore injuries, make sacrifices for the greater good, maintain your equipment and uniform.
Completely useless skills for an adolescent male......unless you plan on throwing him into the military later. Same motivations and programming for both as well, "Oh what a hero, you're a football boy" "Oh what a hero, you're killing people for Israel"

>Completely useless skills for an adolescent male......unless you plan on throwing him into the military later.
There's nothing useless about being fit & working well in a team. Just apply it to business influence like you see all those instagram hustlers doing. No military required.

>public school exists for ...mediocrity
This.
The thing is schools need to be fixed. You should learn basic algebra in 6th grade, geometry in 7th, trig in 8th and 9th grade you should be starting calculus. I know plenty of home schooled or good schools kids that were doing multivariable calculus by age 14.
The schools are fucked. There were 7th graders in my ‘honers” class that could barely read. The whole system is a joke.
You need to fail kids if they arnt learning what they need to learn. Stop giving us degrees to everyone that show up. You have made highschool degrees worthless

No, watching Rick and Morty does not replace a basic education.

Well it's certainly better than being unfit and antisocial, you have me there. But why is it prioritized over eductation? A school will forego new books and more teachers for a new stadium and new uniforms.
The reason is clear, they want the poorfags in public school ready to die in war.

I think the hardest thing on the test was working with degrees on circles. Everyone failed it except about ...10 of us out of like 900

I guess that's more of an American cultural thing (college football scholarships, fraternity hazing, all that shit).
Internationally football is more of a bogan/chav/gopnik thing - it's a bit more disconnected from military discipline than it is in the US.

Too many teachers are early 40-somethings who are hoping to find something to fuck. We should have online schooling done as a subscription service with standardized testing used to uphold the quality of education. Let the teachers keep the majority of the subscription revenue. The free market will finally make deserving teachers be as well paid as politicians claim they ought to be.

I went to a public school that liked to re-write history.

>implying schools don't like to rewrite history
they even tried to teach me global warming was a real, man-made thing

My school tried to teach that white people invented the concept of slavery

There's two different ways of receiving information. Passive and active. Reading Wikipedia articles is passive information that your brain will not properly intake as it's unlikely you'll apply that information. Schools are active in information because you apply your knowledge to problems.

There was a study a couple years ago about this. Passive information is so abundant and people take in this useless information so often on a daily basis it's causing memory problems.

...

No, because you will need somebody to explain math and physics to you.

Good luck getting throgh calculus aline with all the books in the world, you need somebody to explain it.

Schools are a McDonalds of education.
Only the rich csn afford to hire a tutor

They're owned by governments.

so yeah

gee bill there sure are a lot of holocaust survivors

Like you would know what to do with 99.99999% of information aviable to you

So is this the power of slavic intellect
99% of physic and math teachers just repeat what's written in the book. If you are not a brainlet you dont need antine explaining shit to you

Sauce?

>Good luck getting throgh calculus aline with all the books in the world, you need somebody to explain it.

>What are podcasts?
>What is Crash Course?

>Only the rich csn afford to hire a tutor
Who the fuck needs tutors when you can literally use wikipedia, an old textbook, and some fucking videos on the basics?

You might not learn brain surgery without actual schooling, but you don't need what the public school system offers to get real knowledge.

Mine were very good, comprehensively explained everything and got me actively engaged in solving shit, got me really interested in physics I got a free merit based scholarship.

>now
They always have been.

>are places that force you to learn obsolete when you have all the porn in the world in the palm of your hand?
No.

the school structure is obsolete. the schools themselves arent

I agree with your point but your evidence is complete shit.
See and pic related. Don't let your beliefs blind you.

Well I personally needed to pay a dude to explain me matrixes and structural analysis.
After that I had it easy.
Sometimes there's one particular thing you need explained to you

Public schools, maybe. There is still a lot to be gained from a rigorous pedagogical approach that is hard to attain as an autodidact unless you are extremely disciplined and careful.

>you need someone to explain calculus to you

What? There are a lot of subjects where having an instructor is borderline necessary such as language learning. Math is not one of these subjects, and there are plenty of calculus textbooks that lay out the reasoning in a way any reasonably intelligent person can understand.

People need to be taught how to learn, at least

>3 hours
Huh. forbes.com/sites/jordanshapiro/2013/07/01/it-only-takes-about-42-minutes-to-learn-algebra-with-video-games/#7b3a773b4ae4

You need to learn HOW to learn. No kid is going to sit down and force themselves to do long division till they get it right, you need an outside influence for that. Otherwise you end up with scores of adolescent retards that don't know how numbers work and can't retain knowledge.

Going to learn an expertice is worthwhile

>indoctrination
>the goal is to teach you useless things so in the end you will be a useless person
Because basic grammar, math, biology and sciences along with social skills aren't fundamental knowledge every human being should know, right?

There's a paragraph of a history text book that says something you don't like and you dismiss an entire concept because of it.
"farmers should always give birth to farmers, soldiers should always give birth to soldiers and blacksmiths should always give birth to blacksmiths" is a dated caste system that has no room for progress when everyone is stuck at the same level. GTFO fag.

this slightly. The education system does need reform.

Sneed

Here's some videos on education.

>You need to learn HOW to learn
No you don't

There's a difference between having access to information and learning information. Oddly, having greater access seems to have made us even less likely to take advantage of that access.

And now the Internet is going away. It's all about the apps, none of that silly "surfing". All you need to know is that your second cousin changed her baby's diaper 5 times before breakfast.

What the fuck has that got to do wiht what I just said? All that's well and good but years are wasted on useless information and brainwashing besides your "grammar, math, biology and sciences along with social skills ".

>Oddly, having greater access seems to have made us even less likely to take advantage of that access.
It's because people are fulled into subconsciously thinking they can access that information whenever they feel like it. That or they just don't give a shit.

Don't be so dramatic. Schools are just publicly funded daycare centers.

No. Schools are necessary for brainlets to have some boy scout badge of achievement. It is the only way our society can protect the egg shell fragile egos of Marxists and Post Modern ideology adherents. Outside of that - yes, it is absolutely obsolete. The internet is the library of Babel.

Nope, information is not what education is all about, critical thinking is. Sadly you don;t find that in the western halls of academia.

Yes. Schools are there for the unmotivated. If you can find the drive than the internet is all you need

My public school education taught me that Rome was in Greece. No lie. I told the principle and they forced that teacher to take a vacation. You value a rubber stamp more than a dialogue.

>What are podcasts?
podcasts are limited despite what you imply, and how about an individual who doesn't get it and needs a unique 1v1? Personal touch and lesson adjustment is still needed.

>Who the fuck needs tutors when you can literally use wikipedia, an old textbook, and some fucking videos on the basics?
>You might not learn brain surgery without actual schooling, but you don't need what the
Yes you DO need schooling if you're trying to learn mathimatics / the language of the universe,people get fucked with math all the time. Same for grammar, how is a podcast going to tell you you're not spelling / pronouncing a word right?

All this seems to be hindsignt

>years wasted
>grammar, math, biology and sciences along with social skills
you dismiss acute knowledge obtained throughout our centuries of human history so lightly, if people weren't lazy, if everyone was a rockstar scientist then we wouldn't need 12 years of schooling. But people aren't. Something does need to change however.

You have pretty shitty reading comprehension. Try again.

as oppose to Sup Forums post...
>but i can look it up
most people don't and wont in practice, that's why rumors spread so quickly, that's why eco chambers exist, because people don't criticize/questoin themselves.

No. Skills are learned through repetition.

Schooling in it's current form requires some reform though.

What? I'm saying fuck your brainwashing shit, its still useful. I'm saying
what you learn in school >>>> brainwashing "muh jews" shit

That's fine. If you need to pay someone to learn a specific thing, that's fine. No one was saying it was wrong.

Just be aware that not everyone needs to be taught that thing, and that public schools waste time teaching things that some kids might already know.

funny people who complain about school are usually brainlets or underage kids
>WAAH WHY DO I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL

No, because young people need to be taught how to use those tools.

Rather than teaching content, schools should be teaching how to access, interpret, and evaluate content.

i.e. DON'T DO "The cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer, containing transport proteins to move molecules in and out of the cell. Read the chapter and answer these questions, then do this experiment following my procedure. I need a lab report by Tuesday."

PLEASE DO "Okay, so now that we watched this video on how a cell membrane works, get into groups to figure out exactly WHY it is important the cell membrane does what it does using the information you can find in the video. Then we're going to do this experiment, but you need to come up with the procedure and tell me what you think is going to happen based on what you know. No test on Tuesday, but we will be starting a project."

t. an actual teacher

Teachers are failed people who ran back to school the first chance they got.

youtube.com/watch?v=cASNgcaJoMw

to be fair there's an extremely specific group of rouge intellectuals who are 2smart4school because they either because as a kid nobody tells them what the goals of the current lesson is so they feel there's no point to school or because other kids make give them douche-chills for actually being interested in said subjects so they turn into frustrated loners who don't fit in

Better version:

youtube.com/watch?v=VYjjzsA0OcU

Fuck the teachers.

>Yes you DO need schooling if you're trying to learn mathimatics (sic)

You might. But I'll give you a lesson in 5 minutes.

You have learned most of basic algebra if you solve that. Congrats! Most of middle school has just been taught to you! Learn cosines and tangents, and you finished geometry! That's high school!

It takes 5-10 minutes!

>all the human knowledge is in the palm of your hand?

You mean Wikipedia?

No and I doubt they ever will be obsolete. You can absorb knowledge but schools teach you how to use it

>How is a podcast going to tell you you're not spelling / pronouncing a word right?
>Podcast
>People speaking
>Not pronouncing a word right
>user...I...think you have autism.

Combine them with a $10 dictionary, and you have everything you need!

That's why you stop caring what everyone else thinks and pursue your dreams on your own.
It's a dog eat dog world, you're not entitled to anything or anyone is entitled to help you.

You cannot teach critical thinking.
Look at literally every school and how 90% stifle it.

because it is you mong

>What are speech therapy sessions if children listen to people talking all the time?
>why can't i fly a helicopter if i play helicopter simulator all the time?
Maybe its a minor point, but the vocabulary of average man is only at the high school level for a reason, its all they have to learn really. Left to their own devices there's less incentive.

show proof

>Speech impediments
That does take more schooling. Does everyone have a speech impediment, though? If someone goes to public school, they all have to go at the pace of the guy who can't speak that well?

>why can't i fly a helicopter if i play helicopter simulator all the time?
Like I said:
>You might not learn brain surgery without actual schooling, but you don't need what the public school system offers to get real knowledge.

Also:
>Implying you learn to fly helicopters in public school.

You can learn to speak like that, but its not way near as good as learning it more organically.

not yet, but it will be. if i was 16 today i'd never even apply for high school i'd just take the exams and watch khanacademy etc.

i already said i do think school needs reformation. but there is a value to the discipline and struct of school itself, you can't build leaders infront of a computer screen watching podcast, someone on a football team or even in a music band or "crew" that organizes parties is more equipped for a leadership role then a system where someone watches a podcast and calls it a day and hangs out with their friends outside. its not a surprise autism is so high in the age of technology, and why so many fags are on r9k / discord servers saying literal non-sense because they lacked social interactions as children and don't know how to deal with people, again i'm not for school either, i'm just saying its something that's needed, but can be drastically improved.

>Because basic grammar, math, biology and science

All can be learned in the palm of you hand

Schools are literally liberal indoctrination camps for future democrook voters.

Schools arent just for academics.
They're for learning how to interact with peers.
Im guessing you failed that class though if you have to ask.

>in my honers class

Shit-talking people in his honors class. Can't even spell honors.

Wew.

>but there is a value to the discipline and struct of school itself

>Have your parents wake you up at 6am
>Cook breakfast
>Do dishes
>Get on computer for lessons
>Do "homework"
>Finish chores
>Go to a safe area for children to hang out for recess or Physical Training (PT)
>Come back home

It's that easy. You don't need much in this technological age. Public school can be trimmed down A LOT.

Brick and morter schools at the very least need to be toned back for a Khan Academy/MIT online model.

Personally I'd like to see schools mainly be used for hands on learning in things like lab work or technical schools

this is such bullshit just send them outside arrange fucking playdates with parents of other kids in the neighborhood if they're shy

kids learned to interact with their peers on their own just fine before the government stepped in, if anything the government is preventing them from socializing properly.

>Good luck getting throgh calculus aline with all the books in the world, you need somebody to explain it.

That's the collectivist brainwashing typing.
