some of you may not know how seriously i am proposing that students take this opportunity to simply refuse to go to school forever after this

and the answer is i don& #39;t know either but more than 50% at least, let& #39;s find out as i rant off the cuff
first, for those of you who are new to how much i hate school, a short primer:

schools are prisons for children and children should not be in prison

that& #39;s it, basically, but here& #39;s a slightly longer tweet too: https://twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/status/1133636972533051392?s=20">https://twitter.com/QiaochuYu...
see also this thread, which begins with my most viral tweet: https://twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/status/1194733777534078976?s=20">https://twitter.com/QiaochuYu...
it& #39;s seriously not like anyone (in the US anyway) is learning anything in school anyway

you think people learned math? not in a way that mattered. anyone could& #39;ve done the math on ICU beds in february, it was very easy math, several people did it on twitter, and *yet*!
you think people learned history? again, not in a way that mattered. approximately nobody was able to treat the spanish flu as a real thing that happened to real people that could happen again and it shows https://twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/status/1118619039754883072?s=20">https://twitter.com/QiaochuYu...
the response of the american people to this crisis, taken at face value, reveals something staggering, something that should have by itself been enough to cancel school forever:

approximately nobody in the US knows how to think

the few who do didn& #39;t learn how b/c of school
quarantine has also made it clear that the current true primary function of school in the US is providing free daycare so parents can *work*

i cannot find the words to express how much i hate this. the structure of american life *prevents parents from parenting*
so thank *fuck* some parents are finding that when they& #39;re stuck at home with their kids they get to enjoy what it& #39;s like to *actually be a family together, during the weekday*

you& #39;ve been granted a taste of freedom! savor it! https://twitter.com/yhazony/status/1239180402239168514?s=20">https://twitter.com/yhazony/s...
