  3. @hakupony # For me it's not that much about how much they teach, or the position in the system. Schools there are not like schools here. About cheating, I would be dissappointed because cheating means the guy wasn't good enough. I never cheated on exams because it was easier for me to just learn the thing (which most of the time I already knew) than to bother cheating. As for why exactly I don't want to send it to school. well, an easy way to explain it is to say that school is like the zoo, but instead of watching from behind bars and with an explanation of what is that animal inside, you're left alone inside the box, surrounded by primitive beasts disguised as something akin to you, and with no explanation of their true nature. There's that, and there's the mind tampering at an age at wich people are vulnerable to it, done by idiots, to create more idiots. For an average kid, yeah, it's something bothersome but not really awful. [continued on next post]
