If you don’t want to be in class, fine!

Attempts to force a traditional post-elementary education on a low-IQ high impulsivity population are first of all doomed to fail and second of all will require increasing levels of coercion, especially of males, as their age increases.

The obvious answer to preserve some semblance of education after eighth grade is entrance exams for free high school - if your IQ is too low or you don’t want to go, that’s fine.

High school isn’t prison, it’s time to stop running it like one.

In the last 20 years or so, the drop-out age has been raised; that is, you cannot legally drop out of school in many places until you are 17 or 18. One of the main functions of public schools today is to ‘keep them off of the streets’.

So to some extent, high school is prison and the staff and the inmates treat it like one. You have to feel sorry for the kids who want to learn who find themselves in such a school.

I noticed, during the two decades I was teaching in urban high schools, that black students exhibited a pronounced negative reaction to any constraints put upon their behavior. It was like they had never been told "NO" in their lives and were free to do or say anything they wanted. An inability to abide by the fairly simple rules required to participate in high school pretty much doomed them to failure, even if the corrupt NYC school administration required teachers to pass them anyway to preserve the fallacy of good passing statistics for a school. So say you told these ferals that they could leave school, since they resented any restrictions placed on them and weren't learning anything as a consequence---what then? You are releasing a large number of illiterate, numerically ignorant, totally undisciplined thugs into society. The police will certainly be involved at that point. So wouldn't it be better to have some discipline imposed by a police presence in the school (as well as a heightened level of safety for fellow students and teachers) EARLIER in their lives? Libtards are so extremely short sighted, failing to see the consequences of their ill conceived idiotic notions.
