When numbnuts normies ask me the "what about muh socialization" question, I usually respond with asking what about the retarded monkey cage that is public school, that they think is actually useful for children to be subjected to.

Thus far I have yet to get a specific response. Not that I was earnestly soliciting their opinion anyway.

I completely agree. There is nothing healthy about learning social skills from teenagers, who learnt it from teenagers, who learnt it from teenagers. What they need to learn is how to talk to and behave around adults. Earn their respect and be introduced intro adult groups. It's how we're evolved and its how society worked for millennia. Older kids looking after and supervising the youngins, develops skills for motherhood. The boys gradually being welcomed along to adult work, as apprentices, and learning to behave and socialise in the way that they'll need to do for the rest of their lives, with other men, and earning their respect. From tribal groups to apprenticeships, its never teens just learning from other teens. That's retarded.

High School is the most toxic and pathological social environment a child can be in besides prison. It will be one of the few times in life where people will experience rabid authoritarianism, significant physical violence, and aggressive social ostracism.

The military is a wildly more appropriate social environment for children than public school.

Anyone who disagrees is a fucking liar or a fucking perpatrator.

That was elementary school for me. High school, I didn't socialize much with kids there at all, except for a couple of other outcasts (one had a funny name, and the other was dying of CF.) I had cadets, though.\ (which also exposed us to socializing with WWI and II vets.)

Those vets must have had some fuckin' stories.

They did, but keep in mind their stories had nothing to do with combat. Not because we were kids, but because ... they preferred to talk about the friends they remembered like yesterday, and the little bit of enjoyable time they had.

I was taught to NEVER pry war vets with questions; just let them talk as they will. I had a great uncle who was ... touchy.

I fucking HATED high school. Being forced to sit in a chair at a tiny desk for hours at a time listening to some midwit drone on about a subject I had little interest in, and all so I could have lunch one hour before the school day ended. Who the fuck wants to do geometry at 8:30 in the morning? Sure, my eyes were open, but I wasn't actually awake until at least 11.

That isn't even getting into the bullying, trying to figure out how to talk to girls, the stress of my parents expectations, and of course trying to get into a good college.

The cherry on top is that the high school used to be an actual prison from what I remember.

The worst part is that the kids who want to do Geometry at 8:30 in the morning, should be in a place better than highschool.

Offices then use the same politics to make it even worse. It just takes 20 years to become a senior.
