I am indeed using very strong words to try and drive my point home but it doesn't seem like it's working - maybe you just had a very different experience of school and got significant value out of it which made the inconvenience look worthwhile to you?

Regardless of our opinions, I think the goal of this entire thread is to discuss the shortcomings of the system and how we can make it better and not just blame the kids for not coping well with it?

I think the goal of this thread is to scold me for "blaming the victim", which is unjustified. I'm not blaming anyone for being fed up with school, I certainly was fed up with it myself.

The point is that no matter how injust "the system" is, no matter who is to blame for your predicament, there's always a way for you to make your situation worse still.

If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
