    One of my chud coach history teachers made us memorize the constitutional amendments and a bunch of Supreme Court cases. In 9th grade I basically learned that as a student I had little to no rights and that some very important people kept insisting that yes indeed it’s good for students to lack self determination and individuality. I should thank him sometime

      Yeah one of ours made us learn the preamble to the constitution for some reason lol.

      I feel like that’s pretty much one of the major functions of school in America if you’re not going to a rich person school.

        One of my college friends is a rich kid and his school was all about lateral thinking and collaboration. Class is extremely self-reinforcing in American schools, partially just because teachers tend to want to teach at their alma mater
