School

School is an insane time-waster, the place where mediocrity reigns supreme. If you aren't as smart as the the others, school tells you you're an idiot and forces you to learn the material at their pace - even if you can't keep up. They also lower your grades, which will cause everyone - your own family included - to be ashamed of you. However, if you are smarter and learn faster, school will still force you to learn at their pace, making what seems to be normal to anyone else unbearably slow for you, repeating 1+1=2 for months. Not only that, but the way of education kills creativity, one of the defining traits of the highly-intelligent. If that wasn't enough, for some reason, the average student tends to hate the smart, bully them and laugh at them at any opportunity. Appearently, 6.5 hours a day at school isn't enough, so you also have to do homework, extra work that you must do at home, no matter how many better things to do you have (ie; anything). Fun fact - homework is the only legal form of torture, and it is distributed to children daily. in conclusion, school is where the slow are shamed and the fast are whipped to mediocrity. If you are an average intellect masochist that doesn't mind not having a life, school's the place for you. In any other case, school is purgatory. The good news is that you have to go to school "only" every day for 12 years, enough to drive anyone insane. Seriously, this is not a definition. This is a cry for help.
