Escaping High School
&quot;Maybe you go to a school in a poor area, or with a lot of violence ... I don’t know enough to say what the best tactics are for these cases, but I have a few theories.&quot;<p>This pretty much says it all right here.  The author comes from an incredibly privileged background and clearly believes they are smarter than people who have spent their lives studying education.<p>How we educate children isn&#x27;t a perfect system, but educators really are trying to teach important information to all students, including figuring out ways to reach children with very different learning styles, and are stuck balancing what&#x27;s important with the crap forced on them by legislatures, parents, and (hopefully) well-meaning people like the author.
