Why you should quit school

Since a young age we are forced to go to the nursery where you learn while playing, then school. We are forced to education, no one ever chose to go to school by his own will or have been asked if he wants this education or not. That would explain the high number of dropouts and poor grades. We didn’t choose this education but we can choose, now that we can think and decide, whether to stay there or not. So here are 5 reasons why you should quit school.

•           Boring: We all agree that school is goddamn boring, it kills you every second. You don’t enjoy learning anything, it has nothing interesting. School bores people to death, I always look to the classroom after an hour of studying and it looks like the end of Macbeth. You can try so hard to find something amazing in school, in the subjects you study, you want to find something fun to do, something to help you cope with the routine but all you do is getting more and more depressed because there is no hope at all.
•           Stupidity and lack of creativity: At School, there is a disease that spreads faster than the speed of light; it is called Stupidity. You can be so smart and so creative but after a while in our education system you will end up like the others, the subject you study don’t need smart people they need work horses. You can be so creative but with our education system, your mind will freeze and if you don’t use it in some extra curriculum activities, you will end up with no ability to think, imagine and create.
•           Start professional life: if anyone tells you that education is the most important thing in your professional life, is lying through his teeth… Actually, a minimum of knowledge is needed for the work you will do, the rest, which is the biggest part; you will learn it on the field by experience. Sometimes, you don’t even need to work in the field you studied… Plus, professional life is more interesting because you are learning by doing, you actually realize something and can experience that feeling of achieving a goal, you are not living in theories and within the professional life you learn things that are way more interesting than what you learn at school.
•           Joblessness: The examples are countless and you can check around you, ask yourself how many people who have degrees and still at home or working on things they deserve way better job than that. Why do we need a degree we can’t use? Why spend 18 years in education and then find no job in the field we should work in? Why study when we can’t use what we learnt in a good job? Why study at all? Why not start working without this piece of paper that took us almost half a decade to get?
•           Prison: You are a Prisoner! Yes, you are. Ask yourself, why do you feel so obliged to go to school every day? You are forced to wake up 7 am every morning, with a lack of sleep and a lack of energy, to spend the whole day at school where you can’t even concentrate on what you are studying? Why are they punishing us, threatening us, bullying us, giving us orders? Why are we obliged to assist to subjects we don’t like with the system they want us to follow? Why can’t we choose what to study and what not to? Why are we forced to be present even when we don’t feel like doing that? Why are we prisoners of a studying system that made us nothing but slaves, to model us and make us the brainless machines they want us to be?

Schools ruined our lives, destroyed our minds, took from us our imagination, sucked our creativity and gave us nothing but stupidity…

Let’s leave it, let’s do something amazing with our live. Let’s live as long as we can…
