Beliefs
BrainRustism is very anti school and believes that the current school system (in US and UK) is intentionally trying to oppress and not educate the students. He mainly believes that the current school system should be abolished and be replaced or just plainly abolish the current school system.

Subjects
Like seriously, 95% of what we learn at secondary school won't be applied to real life. For example, how will learning Shakespeare or religion help me do engineering? What's even worse is that we will forget them soon. If you think that is worse then you didn't see anything. Do you know that you get TESTED on these subjects? And what if you fail these tests? You get rejected from universities. Like seriously. Why is it that you need to know every religion just to go to a university and get the degree that doesn't require that? Why is it that you have to get an A+ in Shakespeare to get a good job? The system is definitely rigged and it definitely make us to fail.

Time Inefficiency
By "Time efficiency", I meant by how much we learn in a certain amount of time so if you learn a lot in 10 mins, it's very time efficient etc. Why is it that we have to spend 6 hours a day, 5 days a week to learn? EVEN IF the subjects were useful, I don't think the way they teach is time efficient. For example, in one hour of a lesson, we learn few pages worth of facts. Seriously? One hour for only few pages!? Want another fun fact? It takes a total of 5400 hours to finish secondary school. What's worse is that it only takes 100 hours to master a software that you love! Now imagine what you could do in the remaining 5300 hours? You could learn more useful skills. No matter HOW hard we work at school, we always graduate at 16 years old. At 16, we would leave the house. Like why is it that we leave our house AS SOON AS we graduate school? Like, why not reduce the age of leaving school?

Oppression
Under the current school system, the

Cost Inefficiency
It costs $8000 to educate a single child per year. While it's FREE to learn life changing softwares like Blender. Or few hundred but it's way cheaper. Another thing is that trade school costs the same per year BUT, you graduate earlier AND you learn new skills.

Better Alternatives
Online Courses etc. Let's compare to our school system and online courses. Online courses is sometimes free. If they are not free, they might cost a few hundred. But look at our current school system. It costs $8000 a year to educated a single child. Now if we divide it into months. It would be $667 a month (Regardless if you put the time in studying). Let's assume that it should take 100 hours to master a skill. The reason why I chose 100 hours is because I heard people mastering blender for 100 hours. Normally, those lessons are FREE. but if they are costly, then it would be $100. Another factor is time. We spend 5400 hours on secondary school. While it takes only 100 hours to master a software that will change our life. The thing is, school is very time-inefficient while learning something that will change your life can sometimes be self paced meaning you can choose your own speed of learning. Our school system will graduate us at 16 years old regardless of if we studied very hard or didn't study at all.

Who's to blame?
My first guess is large corporations. Large corporations lobby the government making the school system less meaningful and make them compulsory so that the children cannot grow up to become better people. Why do I think they want to do that? To get rid of competition. You see, if large corporations leave the school system as it should be, the school system might teach children actual useful things. If they do that, these children might start a business and compete against the large corporations. And if there's competition, the corporations will have lower prices of goods so they lose money if they don't rig the school system.

[[File:Insarch.png]]Justifications of an Armed Insurrection[[File:Insarch.png]]
For those who say that what I believe is too extreme, ask those living in places like North Korea. Imagine this, you got kidnapped. You are defenseless, you have no choice. Then you became free after 6 months of captivity. While in captivity, all your freedom is stripped, you are forced to do hard work and if you don't you get punished. You cannot go to the toilet without your kidnapper's permission. Tell me, do you think it's justified for the kidnapper to get killed? If so, then... '''That's similar to what school is doing to millions of students. Why are you saying that the school system should be spared?''' Just to clarify, I am NOT justifying violence against STUDENTS. They never chose to be apart of this system. I do against teachers (Except the ones that teach useful things, they are still needed). bUt ThEy ArE jUsT fOlLoWiNg OrDeRs!!!11 by this logic, Waffen-SS soldiers should be spared. Both don't have conscription programs. Both are voluntary. Both are workers of oppressive system.

But school is underfunded!
Do you know what is EVEN MORE UNDERFUNDED!? YOUTUBE TUTORIALS! An average youtube tutorial costs around $25 to make. And yet, they manage to change lives of thousands and MILLIONS of lives just for a 20 mins video. Our school system (let's just say that they DO teach useful stuff) graduates 100ish people a year. While spending a total of $32000 per student. Let's compare. Spending $320000 for 5 years changing a life of a 100 students or spending $25 for 20 mins changing thousands to millions of people

Based points thing
Note: By "School", I mean the current school system in US and western Europe. NOT school itself.
 * 1) Our current school system is purposefully designed to fail us in the future.
 * 2) You shouldn't get punished for selling candy in school.
 * 3) We should remove all useless subjects from school.
 * 4) School isn't about education. It's about oppression.
 * 5) Online classes are much better as they are short, time efficient and can learn life changing skills.
 * 6) You shouldn't get punished for not doing homework.
 * 7) Freedom of Speech is based, you shouldn't be punished for criticizing the system.
 * 8) School should be optional at the end of primary/lower school. Or school shouldn't be compulsory at the first place.
 * 9) During class, secretly learning actual useful things on the phone while pretending to do useless classwork is based.
 * 10) An armed insurrection against our school system is ideal.

Frenenemies

 * [[File:Socdem.png]] - Yes, you want the school system better just like Finland, but Reform only cures the symptoms. Not the problem. Just like how socialists say that you still keep the "capitalist exploitive system".

 * [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] - The current school system. Teaching us useless stuff and punishes us for not working on them.

 * [[File:Amm1.png]] Amism - Don't have major disagreements.
 * [[File:plasmismicon.png]] MrPlasmism - Yes, sell stuff in school, learn how the economy works in just few hours rather than many time inefficient lessons
 * - You're an authoritarian but you 100% agree with me. I don't know how your school system will be when you're in charge...
 * [[File:ProtTheo.png]] Reginald thought - You want minimal government which is nice but I don't know what your school model is.

Comments

 * i dont have a page but i think you would like this https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anonymous-toward-the-destruction-of-schooling


 * - The school system does indeed suck
 * [[File:Glencoe.png]] Glencoe- add me?
 * There
 * JacksonTheBear - Add me?
 * Did
 * [[File:Glencoe.png]] Glencoe- Honestly kids should be encouraged to sell stuff at school because it gets them into the grind of real life and honestly what is a useful subject varies person to person so post-middle school kids should be allowed to chooses there subject
 * Exactly
 * now that you know my option update relations plz
 * There, add me in your page
 * Done
 * [[File:Amm1.png]] Amism - Nice analogy in the justification section, though I think it should also say that you will be returned 3 months after your release, and the cycle repeats until you hit a certain age
 * Ok thanks, also got any more justifications?
 * [[File:Amm1.png]] Amism - An irl exmaple i could use is that it has only been less than 2 months into the school year for me and i have already forgotten some of the math because what they teach in high school is useless for most people, yes math is useful for almost all jobs but only certain parts of the math.
 * [[File:plasmismicon.png]] MrPlasmism - real, 99% of what the school "teaches" people are useless things no one would bother to remember
 * Ikr.
 * - As an authoritarian, I 100% agree with this page.
 * Add me if you got the chance
 * [[File:pixil-frame-0(27).png]] New Model Of Cheesenism - Add me?
 * there
 * [[File:Panth.png]] Pantheonism - Add me ye lazy twat.
