RE: The Public School System Was Designed to Suppress Education

in Motherhood3 years ago

I'll add in the picture attribution, the license says it's not required (only appreciated), but I was just thinking of how people might think I was going against copyrights.

I've been a long time proponent of homeschooling, but am only recently learning that even the very basic setup of the school system is a flawed design. Like you said, I don't know how they would have reconciled the necessity of education to run and develop sophisticated technologies on a large scale, as now even basic literacy is needed to obtain food. It's funny because I sometimes feel illiterate being in a foreign country, but I do have the translate app I use a lot.

Yeh, just easier to cover yourself. The assumption for some is that if you don't credit them, then you're claiming that they're your own.

It's a completely different form of writing to ours as well! Do you know a bit of Korean? It must be quite daunting. Is it a permanent move for you?

It's been about six months here and I'm learning how to read Hangul, their alphabet. Almost all the signs are also in English, and nearly everyone wears shirts with English on them. The first time I went into E-mart, their equivalent of Walmart, it felt really weird to see so much English, like they had it all just for me. I haven't seen a foreigner outside of my family in that store in the whole time I've been here.

I only know hello, yes, no, and thank you basically. Every word is extremely phoenitic, which is why you'll notice a lot of words are really long. The proper form of "hello" is 5 syllables.
