just because teachers are older they have control over us kids. They don't know us better than we know ourselves. But they try to reason saying you need an education yet some of the worlds greatest leaders had less than 3 years of formal schooling. So basically we're wasting our childhood so we can obey the standard system.
1. Go to school
2. Get a job
3. Die
this is basically our own lives on the steps
yet when we try to reason with the system adults out other stupid people who think they know better say "well, millions of kids want to change the world and what makes you any different?"
your answer should be "the fact we haven't bowed down to the system mother nature created. The fact I realise that I'm not going to waste my life away!"
