    Ah yes, the American "educational’ industrial complex, I know it well. It’s also fond of literally leaving behind and moving on from and kids who are struggling, like happened to me in math. Then I got in trouble because my abusive, alcoholic mother thought I was slacking off. Therapy is your friend. So are antidepressants to keep me from killing myself, but that’s only tangentially related.

      Forcing people in education jails, would help solve our education problems. Once a year, they test you, and if you can’t pass a standard test, they lock you away until you can, because you can’t make good choices without education anyway.
