Renegades React to... Don't Stay in School by: Boy in a Band 

exactly

this is my life

Believe me, the teachers hate it too. It really sucks.

+purplegill10 but hey they wanted to be a teacher and it's their job and is being paid to be there

Blanks They wanted to be a teacher because they wanted to try and help people. Unfortunately, you soon find out how BS it is due to having to stick to extremely strict guidelines that Pearson and similar provide. Plus teachers don't get paid well at all. Heck, a lot even buy supplies for their classes in order to make it more enjoyable for students. Just because they chose that job doesn't mean they should be indirectly punished for it. Heck, they should get all the help they can get because they really need it.

Thank you, I don't like reactors that don't understand the meaning of the message fully.

Im british i got the point as soon as he said that line i dont know why but all US reactions dont get it

Glad to see that someone understood what he's trying to say with that message. There are way too many people who don't understand the message. They hear the words "Don't Stay in School" and don't even listen to the rest of the sentence. As Raven mentioned, it's talking about the Subjects and not the Students. So many people don't understand that. :(

Yeah glad some other people understood what he meant.

@@cheesybagel3412 what if you didn't understand a video fully then someone says they don't like you? How would you feel huh?

Finally I found someone who knows that

Now it makes sense.

+Hannah Matthau No, no no.. STAY IN SCHOOL... You aren't going to get a job without a highschool diploma.

Hannah Matthau +Hannah Matthau I didn't say that you would magically have a job. Most businessmen don't want people that haven't even finished highschool to work in their general area. Unless you want to work at McDonald's. Have fun with that. As I want to become a video game designer, I need to be unique, going to school isn't going to make me bland, it's going to teach me how to program, things needed to get into that job. Being a qualified person gets you pretty much everywhere in life. if you would be so kind and give out your occupation, that would be great.

+TheHappy_P0tat0 The funny thing is, there were more people concerned that people wouldn't understand that, than there were people actually not understanding that. XD Kids aren't stupid and can watch the video through to the end where it makes this clear y'know.

people who dont know their history are doomed to repeat it

you have a point BUT there are a few lessons from history we should learn. we shouldn't have to learn about ALLL of them though

Tbf, learning about the past rulers of England vs the continent is quite important. It really highlights the complete different mindsets of the people and their societies function that way

An extreme example, if you aren't taught what Hitler did people are more likely to repeat what he did. I for the most part don't think every subject that's mandatory should be. But history is one of them.

Theblackburnstwo page If you dont learn history it will be easier to manipulate you.

exactly...

To be honest, I would use that as a quote in a book

That is a perfect representation. Learn or move on and don't understand and then in your tests you have no fucking clue of what to do

The Polish Whovian, well said... I'm going through that exact same shit in my Algebra 2 pre AP class rn.

Yep

@Ræde • then you forget it, cuz you memorize it only for the test and to pass not the future... am i wrong?

In the Indian system you have to memorize things in the textbook and write exactly that.Even in an English exam you have to exactly write the sample you were given

I agree and they try to shove it tnto your brain but if you dont get it then its apparently your loss

@@FearMaster56435 a lot of the time when u simply struggle to understand a specific thing they'll help u once, maybe twice if they feel generous enough, then it's simply ur fault that the education system is flawed

When has learning become a competition

+AxelMok4youReviews I would also love to see that, so renegades pleeasee? :3

I would like to second this.

+AxelMok4youReviews yessssss

I LOVE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE SO MUCH!!#

I want this

Marre same😐

honestly... i want to go to a sudbury school.... But theres only one in my country T_T and its too far away

5 years later, and i still agree with that

Synthetik i used to love math. Did it for fun. Then they stopped praising my willingness to learn, instead praising my good grades. And I lost all motivation, now I'm hardly an A student anymore.

Synthetik I agree with that, I used to like history but when it was getting forced on me in middle school, I just straight up hated it.

I'm an artist, but the only thing keeping me from going insane in art class is my willingness and need to learn (just teach me goddamn anatomy, would you?) and our new art teacher who seems to actually get art on a more professional and modern level even let me do assignments digitally. (My profile pic is my first digital assignment by the way.)

Yeah exactly, ppl simply don't want to do what they have to, and want what they cant have, it's human nature and I feel like part of it is cuz we would like to have free will or smthng when we dont fully have that

I'm literally 4 years late, but this point is very true. I have a friend who is an amazing artist, and she genuinely enjoyed drawing. Keyword: ENJOYED Our school was so overboard with activities, making us do hand-drawn bulletin boards and a dozen poster makings EVERY month, add to that handmade props for rushed dance/acting/choir performances that honestly just drained us all further. And with that, most of the heading and responsibility for the art stuff was pushed to her- which all made her break down. Now, she openly expresses to me how she's lost all interest in art, only doing it when the school forces her too.

My school is teaching me that

+THE Lmited No wonder you don't know much about basic human psychology.

***** I did learn that in middle school and around 9th grade..

Psychology is not a subject that is taught in any middle school or high school. You can try lying but facts outweigh lies.

***** our school is different no one really cares about psychology anyway

i agree

i agree

+Rx93NuGundam my thought exactly

that's where the teacher's guidance are. The teacher should know their student's strong and weak subjects, then guide the students from there.

I’ve been saying that for years (late I know but still)

+ProLarrikin So... you mean the whole group? Other than the occasional guests that are friends of theirs there the whole group XD

Yes!!

The grading system is primarily based on the ego of achievement rather then the learning of mastery or improvement. It's also the kind of bribery that ultimately ends up being inefficient in the long run because it assumes effort or intelligence is relative to an assigned category, which isn't always an easily quantifiable entity in the real world or in the human mind. Honestly, if the school system is so bent on having a bribery for achievement, they should at least replace a grading system with a monetary or financial one. After all, the end goal that schools often preach about is mostly based on financial reasons and consequences regarding lucrative careers rather then simply encompassing the embodiment of learning. The learning of the school system is grounded on the preface of traditional theory yet the mantra ultimately speaks of pragmatic incentives about life. That doesn't make sense at all and is rather contradictory in nature.

That still 24% more then i do

DragoversePlayz That wouldnt be appropiate.

"All in all you're just a ...."

its not

They just sit there the whole video doing absolutely nothing, great content.

Paiton Fernandez well... elementary is the only good part ... after that its pointless... :v

Paiton Fernandez go to college for teaching then start a homeschool group and give them that experience

And yes, it was Mark Twain who said that... His point was about the fact that school isn't a place of education. And that is a 'fact'. And people look at those who don't have the same scores in time stress situations as being on a different level than they were. I love Einstein's quote as well. But here's the other thing. The Disney company is the company that's always trying to be inclusive and representative of all people; and that's not only a current thing that will probably continue. Here's what's interesting though! Walt Disney was told at school by more than one teach that he'd never succeed; that he wasn't 'creative' and he won't make a difference at all... Any one reading this can look it up! That is a documented 'fact'... and one that a lot of speakers; from all different religious or 'non-religious' biases even mind you; have used in their speeches about why we know things need to change in the education system. (Yeah! Teachers really do have intelligence, and logic, and 'intuition' and so their psychic - haha cough bull crap cough - powers can be 'trusted' (trusted with *sarcastic tone*). Because; now the world would be very different if he'd been stupid enough to follow in their stupidity. Goats - so those who don't follow sheep - are so sturdy and stable after all the junk they've consumed... Those who 'don't' follow sheep are the ones who survive. -> Think about how far we've come with accepting people of other races and colors and cultures 'because' of where Disney has evolved to and taken us. You need the seed to grow to have a crop so to speak. If Disney had taken this on board and never pursued his dreams/empire - which people saying is taking over the world but it really isn't because in-school babysitters and their higher ups would be intelligent individuals themselves if that were the case which they aren't - the world would be a far worse, far less progressive, far more racist place today. I wanted to say this to give proof for my first of 2 points. Students taking what their teachers say 'seriously' (which they shouldn't) and letting it dictate their lives actually 'PERPETUATES' these horrible things like RACISM! That's number 1... Number 2; which is linked to number 1; is there are colored young girls out there - and their genuinely 'loving' fathers for these particular girls - who can finally buy; because there's a reason for marketing them - Disney's movies are continually successful; their own princesses at home dolls of princesses that actually LOOK like them! (Anika Noni Rose who voices "Tiana" has actually had parents come up to her and say thank you about this very issue). Now! WHY has this positive change occurred in our society? Because when one of those try-hard wannabes at the front of a classroom spewed out the bull crap they try to instill even in one one conversations with kids they're not smart enough and insightful enough to see the potential and talent in, there was a student like Walt who had the 'VEEEEEERRRRRY GOOD SENSE NOT TO 'LISTEN'. I also want to make a point that it becomes easier... and easier... and easier to be deceived the more lies you allow yourself to listen to and believe. But in terms of the stuff I said before my previous sentence, I only have 2 more words to say. And those 2 words are "SLAM!... DUNK!". The other thing to is; not only is the need and unhealthy genuine 'desire'/'lust' to have mindless YES-MEN 'fascism' (so I agree on that word); it's witchcraft! What's witchcraft in its basic form? It is the want to be in charge. And to do whatever you can to control your environment... so that you 'remain' in charge. It's the complete absence of trust in someone other than you. This is how we know that 'most' teachers (maybe not necessarily Nate's mom) aren't secure... Because secure people don't have that desire. (I'm related to some... and the ones I'm related to make my point, not 'just' the teachers I had).

That_one Person Shut up Alpha

I wish my school was like that.

Vee\/\/Potter So?

Cyv How many people become scientists? The things you learn should be chosen by YOU based on the job you want.

Why is it that the elders in my life, who never received a formal education, seem to know more than many of the college kids I know? Now that I'm in university, I realize that I know absolutely NOTHING about how the world works and the life skills that my parents are teaching me are more invaluable to me than anything I've learned about writing an essay in English.
