I could understand Enter's hatred for schooling if he went to some crappy inner-city school, but I REALLY doubt that.

I went to a few of those, the only thing I can think that would have flipped his shit is how lax the teachers were (we didn't have much in the way of homework in any of my grades). Honestly, that's something about school I can actually complain about and people would agree with me on.

All Enter's complaints boil down to is "I did poorly at school, so might as well blame them for my inability to learn."

His "Testing Testing 1 2 3" review or whatever the fuck it was called also had him bitching about the same shit and he really came across as some whiny loser who didn't do well in school in that video.

The description outright says "I wish I had this episode's optimism, but my school took it from me."

Enter uses any opportunity he can as a soapbox to bitch about his school experience, and he lets it get in the way badly. He disliked that MLP episode because he couldn't find it in himself to maybe be objective about something for once.
And of course, he talks as if he's an authority on learning.

When it comes to school, you just can't please Enter.

That video is much worse than I remembered it to be. Just look how about a 1/3 of it is just him trying to take out his disappointment of his schooling out on a fucking cartoon and sperging about it all the way like any little kid watching this show will give a flying fuck about these complex issues in that episode that aren't there.

I think college absolutely isn't for everyone. But if you want even a chance at getting decent work, you need to have some plan B about how you're going to learn skills that make you employable, whether it's apprenticeship in a building trade or some kind of medical assistant training or coding bootcamp or getting into a retail environment that offers management training or cooking school or, or, or.

Enter just wants the world to bring success to him where he is right now, without him having to change or learn or step an inch outside of his comfort zone. Which it is, to some extent, with him getting money via Patreon and so forth. But that won't last forever, and it seems like his plans for next steps are mostly "keep doing this and get more famous," and I think he's probably close to the top end of his earning potential for what he does already.

FIFY.

That aside, I wonder if Enter was ever mainstreamed at any point. If he was, then I can see why he's bitching about something for nothing.

Think something along the lines of "School's too hard, I wish it were easy", in which case I say yeah, and you have to overcome obstacles all the time. You can't simply take the high road, as much as you want to do so. Because sometime, it will pay off in the end.

Now if he wasn't, then the blame falls squarely on enter for simply being a moron who doesn't know what he's talking about. Not about school, animation, life, anything. And I wonder how much of that is his fault and how much of it is the fault of his parents. Cause I'd like to believe there was at least some outside influence to his lifestyle and choices.

Went back to read his list and noticed this one the hardest. This alone can imply Enter has little to no skills or hobbies outside of sperging critically analyzing cartoons.
And he's lazy as shit.

People keep asking me what I have against school, why did I always hate it so much. I never really was able to tell them because I thought I would be offending them for some odd reason, or maybe I was just shy. Who knows? I also remember back then people asking me what I learned in school, and one answer was always the right answer: nothing. Now that I’m older, I realize that’s something that just isn’t true. Some I’m going to shoot both questions down with this list of “30 Things I Learned in School.”

  1. Learning happens in spite of education; not because of it.
  2. You can’t choose your friends. They choose you. And they will unchoose you if you don’t do as they say.
  3. Adult life will suck, and adults will repeatedly remind you that adult life will suck until child life starts to suck too.
  4. If you ever finish all of your work then there’s just more work to do. So don’t finish the work until the last second, and procrastinate half the time away before you start to achieve previous said goal.
  5. People are morons. It’s just human nature.
  6. Every job you will ever have in your lifetime will suck entirely no matter how prestigious or well-paying it is (see future post for examples).
  7. How to tune out people screaming at your face while looking totally, and utterly alert.
  8. The best way to sell a crappy book: get a teacher to like it. As it becomes mandatory reading, sales just go up every year. Who cares if the book ends up in a landfill?
  9. Friendships come and go. They complain that you don’t have any friends, and once you do they spend every waking moment keeping you apart.
  10. When you laugh the world laughs with you. When you cry the world laughs at you.
  11. You can’t please any of the people… ever.
  12. How to convincingly feign being sick, and how it can solve virtually any problem.
  13. You can’t rely on other people to take care of you, protect you from bullies, do their job, be sane, be competant, or be decent human beings. Expecting anything else sets you up for disappointment.
  14. If there’s something you don’t understand or don’t like you can make fun of it until it goes away, or kills itself.
  15. What seems petty now may traumatize you for years to come.
  16. A single letter on a crumpled piece of paper put there by a person you utterly hate for reasons that you don’t care about has the power to turn the world against you.
  17. Technology moves forward. Public schools don’t.
  18. Proxies are the best things since sliced bread. They aren’t just for people under oppresive governments anymore.
  19. Anyone who ever said that “high school is the best time of your life” should be convicted of assisting a suicide and get mental help. Immediately.
  20. Anyone and their dog, and their dog’s fleas can become a substitute teacher.
  21. Society doesn’t like you. It laughs at your misery. You must be a terrible person.
  22. If you learn something the first time and it isn’t interesting, it won’t be interesting the next time you learn it, or the fourth time after that.
  23. You are your own best friend. Loners may be freaks, but freaky is cool. And some of the sanest people I’ve ever met are loners.
  24. Total strangers leave you alone. Friends are allowed to take things without permission, punch you (two for flinching), and impose. Family members are allowed to outright humiliate you because… you know, you’re family.
  25. Kindergarten teachers learn from Marx. The best way to teach sharing is not taking a toy away from someone who is content and give it to the other kid who just looked at longingly.
  26. Suicide prevention doesn’t do much if it relies on the person who probably doesn’t want to be stopped.
  27. Everybody lies. Trust no one.
  28. Just as school kills creativity, it kills logic. “Homework is to help you do well on tests. Tests determine your grade.” Acing all tests and doing no homework nets you a failing grade.
  29. A private school does not mean a good school, or a safe school.
  30. The human stomach is absolutely amazing considering it can digest all the crap they put in school food when it’s supposedly young, weak, and still developing.
If I ever have kids, I’m homeschooling them. Don’t tell me schools will improve because they won’t. They’re using the same outdating methods they’ve used for the past two centuries. If this sounds like satire, it isn’t. I learned a hell of a lot more from school, but I’m trying to keep this light-hearted. You don’t want my nightmares. Trust me.
It's extremely cynical, and obviously he's taking his singular experience to speak for the entire education system.
I can't imagine what it'd be like for him to homeschool his kids...

Some choice reasons
  • Learning happens in spite of education; not because of it.
No. learning happens because of education. You got it totally backwards.

  • Adult life will suck, and adults will repeatedly remind you that adult life will suck until child life starts to suck too.
What?

  • If you ever finish all of your work then there’s just more work to do. So don’t finish the work until the last second, and procrastinate half the time away before you start to achieve previous said goal.
That's a shit attitude. The learning comes from the time you put into it.

  • People are morons. It’s just human nature.
Mr Enters attitude about people is revealing. If people are morons does that include his followers? Are we lowly people beneath his enormous intelligence?

  • Every job you will ever have in your lifetime will suck entirely no matter how prestigious or well-paying it is (see future post for examples).
He's reached @Connor levels of cynicism here people!

  • How to convincingly feign being sick, and how it can solve virtually any problem.
Apart from advancing anywhere in life. I'm sure that problem will remain stubbornly unsolved.

  • A single letter on a crumpled piece of paper put there by a person you utterly hate for reasons that you don’t care about has the power to turn the world against you.
If you fuck up your studies then inevitably you'll piss people off. Maybe he shouldn't have procrastinated so much...

  • Kindergarten teachers learn from Marx. The best way to teach sharing is not taking a toy away from someone who is content and give it to the other kid who just looked at longingly.
Again, what? He's complaining about losing a toy in Kindergarten. Wow

  • Suicide prevention doesn’t do much if it relies on the person who probably doesn’t want to be stopped.
God Mr.Enter, you're sooooo edgy. You should contact @Connor. You'd both get on great!

  • Just as school kills creativity, it kills logic. “Homework is to help you do well on tests. Tests determine your grade.” Acing all tests and doing no homework nets you a failing grade.
No. Its part of learning. You have to do work to get good grades.

  • The human stomach is absolutely amazing considering it can digest all the crap they put in school food when it’s supposedly young, weak, and still developing.
Cry me a river.

Short Version

Mr Enter's reasons for hating school environments were mostly childish. He probably still thinks like this.

You know, If he worked a little harder or pursued more education, Growing Around wouldn't suck so much

So in summary, this guy is a fucking loser and entitled little brat that never wanted to do jack shit in school and wants everything to go his way. Well he can't just pull the cart before the horse like that at all and I think he gave a bad name to all those teachers out there that don't fit his extremely generalized world view of his.

I thought college is supposed to help people think and prepare them for reality so that they have knowledge of things before getting a career. I have a little cousin who was born from a relatively impoverished family and she busted her ass off in high school and won a scholarship to Pepperdine University. Enter doesn't realize how college actually helps people to learn about reality and things and the fact that many poor people would kill to go to college to even learn new things. Me thinks Enter is spoiled.
