How is that depressing? When alls the public school system does is teaches you to conform and get a typical 9-5 job instead of being creative. It teaches you that college is a necessity to put you into debt early. Funny how the most successful people never even went to college. Think steve jobs, the dude from facebook... bill gates.

You say depressing.. i say step in the right direction. Pull em all out. Alls school is these days is a prison of popularity and training thug wannabes.

Kids should be educated based on the path they want in life... not on conforming.
