Well the trick to fun is picking classes wisely and making sure you get the kids who aren't stuck up pricks, a little alcohol never hurts either.

How about stuff that isn't centered around the individual? Like improving our societies and the world?

Learning about improving societies is nice and all but it is all opinion, people have different ideas about what an improvement is, and a teacher opinions or the even the department of education's opinions are not that important to me

Every socioety consists of individuals, and one of the most important steps to improve society is to make sure they aren't ignorant dicks.
That should be the aim of education.

You have no idea...
Sports are everything here.
If you can kick a ball into a net, they will gladly hand you a 100% scholarship to a private school which would otherwise require you to be at the top of your class academically.

Too late.
Even if there is a way to fix things, America really won't do it.

Its not about fixing stuff its about stopping it from getting worse.
The problem with that is that if it is not fixed, conditions will get worse. Because it is so broken now that there's no hope for it.

Have you ever thought that a bad public education system is intentional?
Uneducated people don't question authority. And they care less about facts.
The american school system is rigged to create republican voters!

No wonder the young are the Republican's strongest base.
If the Republican's ideas were really so awesome, then why don't they try and allow as many people as possible to vote?

admit it!
if you're not one of those rich corporate bastards then you'd have to be an idiot to vote for the republican party.

You'd have to be an idiot to vote for any of the parties present in America.
Of course it's intentional. But it's not made to make Republican voters so much as it is to just keep the poor poor, particularly if they are colored.

But this is just a silly thing to do.
This is like a capitalist happy to keep his workers poor. Instead of ensuring that they have sufficient resources to buy his and his fellow capitalist's products - stimulating growth and making said capitalist even richer. What's not to like?
It's zero-sum-game. Any one person doing it can make themselves better off at the expense of others. If everyone does it, then everyone is worse off.
They see it as a zero-sum game. If they grant a higher wage to a worker then that means a lower share price and a worse compensation package.
The US doesn't have a healthy capitalism any more.

If you want to argue that there is a problem with labor's leverage, make the argument.
If not, explain how you want things to work.
