I don't like anything to inhibit thought, including social acceptability. Pro-education and proudly blocked by the anti-educational NEA.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

I openly reject the belief that even more schooling is the solution to the problems here in the most heavily schooled era in the history of humanity.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

@pseudo_teacher Screw GPA. There are far more important things in this world than grades. Being capable of thinking for yourself is among them. Providing yourself with a healthy education is another.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

I used to be the kind of student who would be upset with every B on his report card.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

@pseudo_teacher It doesn't. Instead, the time and effort dedicated to thought displaced time and effort dedicated to pointless busywork.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

@pseudo_teacher Are you serious? This caused my grades to drop.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

@pseudo_teacher I learned how to think.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

Teachers overwhelmingly take education for granted. They boast about the value of their work, but they never bother to look into the consequences of their actions. They might have good intentions, but they are ultimately doing far more harm than good to future generations.

I enjoyed the 4th of July so much more before I started to realize what modern-day America stands for.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

Could you imagine what it would be like if the government regulated breathing the same way they regulate education?

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

They took the minimum number of differences so they could claim to meet variable needs without having to understand how each student is unique.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

Meeting the needs of unique students would require teachers to embrace an infinite number of learning styles. Instead, teachers have generally focused on just two. Two happens to be the minimum learning styles required to claim that you are meeting variable needs...

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

Teachers embraced the idea of learning through sight and sound because they are hostile to individualism. They can't get away with saying that they are meeting the needs of different students if they don't embrace some form of variability...

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

I would be better educated today if I would have found the courage to drop out of school.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

Looking back, there is nothing that I can actually credit my schools for teaching me. While mentally imprisoned in our schools, I struggled with excessive repetition and the prohibition of progress...

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

A Democrat infiltrated the Republican. He went on to pretty much destroy the party from the inside. Meanwhile, Republicans changed their political views to match Trump's. Republicans then became critical of conservatives who maintained their values during Trump's time in office.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

If we want to improve things for future generations, the key isn't to become even more reliant on the schools. Instead, we need to embrace the idea that practical learning comes outside of the classroom.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

@pseudo_teacher True, but I can't ignore what I have seen first-hand. The schools were designed to prevent education, introduce government control over our lives, and vilify anyone who fails to conform.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

@pseudo_teacher We are living in the most mindless conformist era in the history of humanity, and quality of life is plummeting.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

These are the same skills that fast food and retail workers, people who are generally portrayed as the weakest in terms of skill, are required to possess. It has become very clear to me that teachers lack the skills required for unskilled labor.

[J. Taylor @maritimeorca]

Teachers are consistently viewed as skilled labor. Considering they frequently blame paying customers, taxpaying parents, they clearly lack customer service skills...
