Young people are taught that they can learn everything they need to know in their high school classrooms, experience doesn't matter, leading to a lot of young people who think they already figured out everything about how the world works....
Public high-school taught me that that those institutions don't care about how the world works; and instead everyone must accept their version of it, or else. I was lucky enough to get clued in early, except nails that stick up tend to get hammered often.
I had the misfortune of attending FL public schools in the 80's where shit like Common Core was being piloted, and punishments were allotted for things like reading an encyclopedia after classwork was done... because it made other kids feel slow.
So what did public schools teach me?
How to learn on the sly.
