Well the main difference between a public schooling and concentration camps is gas...

But I understand your feelings. All I learnt in the elementary school, high school and university was: Fuck! I wasted so much time there! Today I have quite good job, kinda good salary and I'm happy with my job. None of my skills I use in job everyday I gained in school. For example I can speak english (not my native language).

Imagine the english is like a RPG character in a videogame. English in the school I attended was level 2. English I was teaching home after school and on fridays was level 50 at least. Still I'm not flawless but when I had an job-interview, they wanted to know my english skills and my computer skills, not schools I finished.

I regret the time I spent in school, really. I could be much better today.

And think YOUR parents were enthusiastic about you going there. We are a boot-licking couple of generations.

Oh pretty please give me a job with some benefits. I might be able to afford a trip to sophisticated Europe. Maybe my house will have nice things from Crate and Barrel in it. An explosion that killed brown people? Oh god how exciting? I knew my pathetic existence was justified thanks to the fact that I can take solace in the fact that horrible terrible things only happen to "those people". Oh god, a terrible thing happened here. Moar explosions!!! I can't afford Crate and Barrel, oh god what if I can't afford organic food. We need some free shit up in here. Ban foreign trade!

I think that's extreme. There are a lot of problems with government-run schools, and those problems are inherent to a politically run, compulsory system. However, they are more like minimum-security prisons and concentration camps.

You might like the anti-government schooling works of Sheldon Richman and John Taylor Gatto.

Not only that, but public schools teach children to be violent, and intellectually vapid, as the smart awkward "nerds" get beat up by the cool stupid "bullies", and the teacher just looks the other way and does nothing, and the victims have no escape because they're imprisoned. It's no surprise that the victims of public schooling call for more violence by government. And when the bullies grow up and find their incomes an order of magnitude less than the nerds they used to beat up, but now personal violence is no longer allowed, they turn to the political process of institutional violence to steal the incomes of the nerds.

I believe that the pro-government education authoritarians call that "socialization" and "preparation for real life."

100% Agree. I personally learned more in 2 years of researching online than I have in all my school life combined. A friend of mine was told to write about his opinion about an event in the news. Wrote it and the teacher said it wasn't true and it was conspiracy. Called his parents and recommended a psychologist. After that when asked about his opinion on another article; he just wrote 'I have nothing to say'.

Just track the origins of public education. It was based on an archaic prussian system, meant to turn the citizens into staunch nationalists ready to go to war for their nation. And to my understanding, the atrocities in nazi germany would not be possible without their education system, if you excuse the cliché example.

I think if the students studied the history of schooling itself, it's possible there either would be a rebellion, or everyone would just go home. Read "The Underground History of American Education" by John Taylor Gatto.

It's been a while since i read it, so i'm paraphrasing from memory here, but when they tried to introduce schools, there were instances of parents burning down the schools and chasing the teachers out of town. Of course i imagine it had a lot to do with religion, and needing them to help on the farm and these sort of things, but at its core they did not want the state shaping the social identities of their children. But the parents lost. The responsibility for their own children was taken from them by the use of the police. Ages of propaganda later, parents have changed. A lot.
