  the American education system in a nutshell. that’s why I tell my kids, learn as much as you can, try your best, but don’t get upset about a poor test grade here or there. You can learn anything you want, you just have to be willing to put in the effort. the only useful thing I learned in the American education system is that you can’t rely on it to educate, as it’s designed to generate. Generate workers, voters, debt mules, pawns.
