You are educating them on how to work hard, be respectful, and how to defend themselves.

any good highschool in america will teach you all of these things except the last, hell a bad one would teach you the last one if you catch my drift lmao
if you need the last one still, take a self defense course, or do gun safety and handling training

Things that not every child needs to spend an extra 2 years learning.

If you're one of the kids that does, sure, go to military school. Don't fool yourself into thinking that every other kid is also at your level.

work hard

That's school in general. The education system needs to develop a better reward/punishment scheme to make the lesson more clear, but otherwise that's one of the important things you learn early.

be respectful

Our college had a PA ("Program Achieve") class and PE classes that dedicated large chunks of time to respect. Even then, it should be common sense that's worked in by the parents who need to have an active role in a child's development.

how to defend themselves

Absolutely unnecessary in a modern, civilised society. There are plenty of extra-curricular activities (such as martial arts) that'll teach you this if you choose.

There's no work involved in graduating high school. It's actually a challenge for a teacher to fail a kid nowadays no matter how stuff their marks are. And in my experience both the teachers and the students are rude in high school.

just because you went to a stuff highschool does not mean that everyone needs to go to a military school

So what you're saying is that everyone should go to military school because they're mean to you? :(

I've been to multiple high schools.

No I'm talking in general.

That's completely subjective, and without being a teacher yourself you have no way to make such a giant judgement call.

Highschool teaches the first two. Any course outside could teach the third. It doesn't take two years to learn all 3.

GG putting words in my mouth and being a condescending forgettard at the same time

Stop sperging out over someone not agreeing with you. Calm the hell down lol

Must've been a really stuffty school. :)

Lmao

A teacher told me this.

See, there's this thing teachers do, where they relate to the kids better so the kid will try harder in their class.
maybe a teacher was just bitching, or a stuffty teacher lol

title is legit

You ever consider that it has less to do with the system and more to do with the specific case? Maybe the school is trying to look good by passing more students so they'll get more people to send their children to said school and therefore pay their fees.

It is considered one of the best schools in my city.

It was in a global issues class. He was talking about how when the conservatives were in my province they had standardized testing but when the NDP got in they removed it.

He was talking about the entire province.
