“High school? Shit, I’ve been trying to forget it. All I learned is that everyone’s so steeped in their own BS by the time they get there that most of us don’t learn a thing. Sure, it’s good for kids to be taught not just science and math but how to read, how to think, how to get to know other people. But the way most high schools are run, they’re not much better than jail. Just a way to keep kids off the streets so old people feel safe walking about and adults don’t have anyone coming after their jobs. I mean, if everyone really gave a shit about kids, they’d pass some gun laws.”
