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

There is no such thing as "Recess/Break Time"
In theory, you have 45 minutes in 6 hours of break. 15 minutes for no lunch, 30 minutes, with lunch. But in practice, You get much lower break time from that. How? Let me explain. While in break, you are not allowed to go out of the school premises to order lunch or to buy sweets from the nearest shop. You still have to STAY in school. Also, the internet inside school is HEAVILY REGULATED such as you can't play games using school internet or watch youtube etc. In practice, you get much lower break time than that. Why? When the bell rings, break time starts. You cannot leave the classroom until the teacher says you can go which is 1 or 2 minutes. Or more if someone rebels against the teacher which is stupid. Assuming there are 2 separate recess in a school day, this means 2-4 minutes wasted just for teacher dismissing students. Now you will need to walk to the playground You might be lucky because you are in the first floor of the building but sometimes you are in the 4th floor of the building. Let's not forget how clogged the students are when they walk down the stairs. Assuming that you take at least 2-3 minutes to get to where you want to be, this means 4-7 minutes wasted in the 45 minute "break" Now for lunch times, you will have to line up in a queue before you can get served. Let's say that it takes 1-4 minute depending on luck and speed inside a queue just to pick your food. Plus, you will need to eat. Depending on your eating speed, it would take 2-5 minutes to finish your lunch before you can go to where you want. So all together, this means 7-16 minutes wasted.

For those of you who think punishing students who don't go to school is a good idea
Look at North Korea and Nazi Germany. Why don't you visit them? I'm sure you will love living in these countries because they execute parents for truancy. Go on. I thought you love forced schooling. That's what I thought.

You have the audacity to complain about school while people in the third world BEG for school!!!
Tell me, why do people in the third world want to go to school? To get basic education? Ok fine. And why do students like me in the first world want to NOT go to school? I'll tell you why. And it might surprise you. We also want to get education! And by education, I don't mean spending hours in a classroom learning things we will forget later in life, I mean learning things that WILL be used a lot on our lives. So in conclusion, I support education, this is why I oppose school

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:Nordmodel.png]] - Your system may be the least bad in western europe, giving money to students for hard work is based, but I still think what you teach is pointless. It's like telling students that they get money for doing useless labour.
 * [[File:Illeg.png]] - Breaking school rules is based, but I don't agree with stealing lunch money.
 * [[File:Hoxha.png]] - Too authoritarian, but teaching about how to use guns is hella based especially if you want to defend yourself.
 * [[File:Castro.png]] - Again, too authoritarian. But your medical classes are very based.
 * [[File:ML.png]] - You teach students to be workers is bad, but at least you are more direct (Directly teaching them how to work instead of teaching things they will forget later on) about it unlike the west...
 * [[File:Nazi.png]] - The reason why I don't put you below is because teaching girls how to cook and take care of children is based. Other than that, teaching Aryan supremacy is very cringe. Plus, this is what happens if you make school compulsory, people.
 * [[File:USAGOP.png]] US Republican Party - School choice is good, but Theocracy is cringe.

 * - Still think compulsory schooling is a good thing no matter what?
 * [[File:Lib.png]] - Fuck off with your inefficient school system. There are much more better options than yours.
 * [[File:Demcr.png]] US Democratic Party - I have few things to say: 1. Stop trying to restrict school choice. 2. Stop making schools time inefficient and expensive (Pouring even more pointless subjects into our schools so we stay in school longer which costs more) 3. Stop s*xualizing kids. 4. STOP SENDING COPS INTO MY HOUSE JUST BECAUSE I WANT TRUE SUCCESS IN LIFE!
 * [[File:PolState.png]] - I'm not gonna go to to school today. I am going to go on Youtube and do REAL educatio- HEY WTF? WHAT DID I DO WRONG!?
 * [[File:Krit.png]] - Why should I pay $120 for not coming to school? What damage did I do to society? I thought we already paid school fees in taxes. Why should I pay extra just because I didn't go there?

AntiSchoolers

 * - Ikr
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - Why yes, we should sell candy at school
 * [[File:Glencoe.png]] Glencoe - Also agrees that we should sell candy.

 * [[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.

 * [[File:pixil-frame-0(27).png]] New Model Of Cheesenism - I don't know what you think of the school system. But by the look of your page, I can tell that it's bad.

Comments

 * i dont have a page but i think you would like this https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anonymous-toward-the-destruction-of-schooling
 * [[File:Svokxzismgreeniconimproved.png]] Svokxzism-What is your opinion on the idea of youth liberation?
 * Sounds nice. Having kids to become more independent instead of being told on what they can learn. Following their own dreams without disruptions
 * - The school system does indeed suck
 * [[File:Glencoe.png]] Glencoe- add me?
 * [[File:Svokxzismgreeniconimproved.png]] SvokxzismSvokxzism -Add me? I am a fellow anti-schooler.
 * Done
 * 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.
 * ok, I guess you come from a country that the school system is good.

The reason why I associate Ancap with online courses is because most of the online courses are private and the teachers of those courses are very competitive because they want as many good reviews as possible just like a free market. The reason why I associate Ancom with homeschooling is because homeschooling is free and taught by close ones such as parents and Ancom is about working with close ones for the better and not trusting money (I Think) Also, I BELIEVE that under Ancom societies, there's no government funded schools so children have to get education from close ones
 * [[File:ProtTheo.png]] Reginald thought - add me
 * ok
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - What do you think about the Finnish system of education?
 * I don't know what exactly do they teach but I remember them giving money to successful students and not giving homework and lesser hours so I think they are the less bad ones
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - Other questions: How would you deal with the vitamin D and eye sight problem when there are online classes? Like in lockdown eye sight overall got worst and that kind. Oh and also why do you associate AnCap with online classes and AnCom with homeschooling?
 * I define online classes as courses outside of school or related to school. (So it's kinda my fault for not specifying it properly lol) There can be audio reader for text because mostly the teachers provide a text sheet for the courses like transcripts.
