the American education system is absolutely fucked
I’ve always felt it’s a cultural issue. Just about every kid I knew thought that school was the worst prison imaginable. It was something to hate. If you disagreed with that, you were a “nerd” and should be mocked and bullied for it. That was reflected in the media at the time I grew up too.
What I don’t really get though is how people can read plurals every day 100 times with their own eyes and still not internalize how they work.

Could it be that if every kid thinks school sucks, perhaps it’s because the school sucks?
I always thought it was due to anti-intellectualism. In America it’s a thing.
