> High school me was a moron and should not be trusted to do the real work and people who know better should force him to practice the skills lol

I knew some people doing great at high school due to being forced to study. Then they taste the "freedom" in college and fail hard because no one tells them what to do now.



They might perform well, but might hate every second of it. I was like that.

For example, high school poisoned reading for me. I hated fiction for several years after high school.


Right. I was forced to study, I hate it. Now I'm forced to work, quite good at what I do, but hate it as well.


Some might say school is designed not to educate people, but to train them for the workplace.
