they did

>designed to teach us wrong methods of learning to purposely fail people like me
its just a mass production with too few teachers and mostly bad students. reality is that nobodys full potential can be used because many children dont have a psychologically, physically well upbringing with qualified parents.

>I used to think teachers genuinely tried to help us brainlets to do our best and it was “our fault” that we just didn't get it. But now I’m convinced that the entire school system is designed to teach us wrong methods of learning to purposely fail people like me in order to keep competition for jobs and academia low

no you're just a slow learner brainlet

school worked for me desu

Good luck getting a math job without a college degree kek

Math, job pick one

Studying at your own pace and with an actual desire to learn is always much easier (especially since your adult brain grasps these concepts way faster). Schools don't actually care if you learn anything or not - they're doing what they're doing because it's required by the society. And it's totally reasonable when you think about it. The system is kinda fucked, yes, but it's not like we can do anything about it - any school system reform would be an absolute bitch to pass and implement. Parents simply won't allow it.

I can relate OP.
Doing CS and Math degree in uni and i get so much more done studying alone. I only go to school to network and make sure I know whats going on in classes.

The system doesn't work for many people. That's why we have this influx of retards getting """""degrees""""" is social studies and arts. It's not even about learning - schools fail to spark interest. Subjects like physics, math and chemistry are fucking fascinating, and yet barely anyone realized that in their school years (mostly because they were forced to do those in the most boring way possible and were punished for their mistakes instead of being encouraged to learn from them).
Our modern school system was designed for the industrial society, when 95% of the people were only required to memorize basic shit and go slave their lives away in factories. And yet society changed, but our school system did not.
I fucking wish I had YouTube and shit like Khan Academy when I was struggling in my school years. It would've helped me immensely.

I struggled with proper usage and identification of English grammar until I recently progressed through most of the Khan Academy grammar topics. The poor methods of my former teachers and their curricula became very apparent when I advanced to the more complex aspects of each topic. I might have been able to learn near the full extent of English grammar and vocabulary before I left primary school if the educational methods weren't so poorly designed.

Modern education methods usually target the class as a whole rather than individual students. If you want to progress outside of the lesson plan, you're usually looked down upon by other students for being an intelligent person and your teachers might find it annoying if they're not very intelligent. Education of the future will be based in strong placement of students in some form (what form is the question), so it will generally be the exact opposite of the modern approach.

Self-study for actual learning, institutional study for cultural capital. It is known.

you’re just a brainlet

That's why you pretend to be retarded while still acing everything.

The system is designed to keep males from blue collar families down, which is why most females attend colleges at the age of 18-21, meanwhile males usually attend them from 21-26.

Males have a higher rate in geniuses than females, but they are still a minority on colleges and are way more depressed than females (the "Females are more depressed than males" stuff is bullshit, way more males kill themselves, over 70% of all suicides are males, depression is almost every time a reason for suicide).
School is designed against male students, period.

Just go back to school and get a degree. And yeah I agree with you on this one. I learn way more in private than in a lecture or traditional class setting.
