" school "

 [ "school" ]

1: a place you go to spend 70% of your day sitting in an uncomfortable, plastic chair

  * e.g.,  ... "what's wrong" 

 [ "school" ]

1: The mandatory hellhole where you're forced to go for 14 years. Often full of teachers that bore you out of your mind and bombard you with this useless crap you will never need (such as the dreaded things called homework or coursework), bratty wannabe gangstas who think they rule the world, dog-shit cafeteria food that moves, and a fuckton of other things that make it seem like somebody decided to put education, hell, and prison all in a blender and then the result is these compulsory things called "schools". If you think that you couldn't learn anything without the help of compulsory school, maybe you never thought of alternatives. And free education? I spend 100-200 on school crap each year, so don't bombard me with that chestnut. And the next person to mention flipping burgers can hop on the school bus and go to hell.

  * e.g.,  ... Student 1: I hate school!! 

 [ "school" ]

1: Where we waste 18 years of life at.

  * e.g.,  ... 'Am I actually going to use fucking square roots when I'm 23 and have a job?' 

 [ "school" ]

2: nuff said

  * e.g.,  ... Thanks School! 

 [ "school" ]

1: An institution originally noncompulsory, now a forced hellhole where otherwise reasonably intelligent people are forced to go for 14 years.

  * e.g.,  ... Student: Mr. Smith, when was the last time you needed to know the population density of Finland? 

 [ "school" ]

2: It instills in them a great hatred of what they otherwise would not despise; for example, many children who hate history don't actually hate the Civil War. They just hate that they're being forced to memorize names and dates. If they were left to their own devices, they would probably end up knowing the basics about the Civil War without having to spend pointless hours proving to some mindless beaurocrat that they know what they're talking about.

  * e.g.,  ... Teacher: IF YOU DON'T LEARN THIS POINTLESS SHIT EVEN MOST FINNS PROBABLY DON'T KNOW, YOU'LL NEVER GO ON TO A REALLY EXPENSIVE SCHOOL TO IMPRESS ANOTHER PROFESSOR, AND THEN GET A PIECE OF PAPER TO IMPRESS ANOTHER BEAUROCRAT! 

 [ "school" ]

3: An institution that takes too long to not do enough. An institution that makes people believe that it is the only way anyone will ever learn anything or meet anyone. Apparently the real world and libraries and the Internet are not valid places of learning or places to socialize. Nope, you have to go with all the other inmates in an environment where you get no respect at all from dipshits with a special piece of paper that says they know how to humiliate you.

  * e.g.,  ... Student:... Fuck this, I'm going to go carve wood. 

 [ "school" ]

4: Pavlov's dogs, but teenagers.

  * e.g.,  ... Teacher: GET BACK HERE! DETENTION! 

 [ "school" ]

5: A place where they're so freaking retarded they can't just make school noncompulsory. If it were noncompulsory, after a while everyone would get bored with playing video games and wander in to school to go to the chemistry lab where a chemist would show them how to do what they wanted to do.

  * e.g.,  ... 10 years later: ...He attributes his massive success to skipping school so he could practice woodcarving, which when coupled with his love of music led him to carve flutes. Now 26, Mr. Student is doing what he loves and living within his means. What a shame the rest of us are brainwashed fucks. This is Anchorman, XYA News. 

 [ "school" ]

6: A place where people assume you're incapable of just picking up Dickens on your own, so they have to force you to read Oliver Twist NOW so you'll hate classic literature all your life.

  * e.g.,  ... ----- 

 [ "school" ]

7: A place where well-meaning people destroy creativity.

  * e.g.,  ... I am always ready to learn, I am never ready to go to school. 

 [ "school" ]

8: School is not learning. People hate school, not a^2+b^2=c^ They hate having to wake up early after doing homework late, having to go to a place where they have no free will and come home to where it's just reinforced by their parents.

  * e.g.,  ... ----- 

 [ "school" ]

9: School creates a huge inferiority complex and denies us our status as humans so corporations come in and promise us the chance to feel something intense if we just buy their snake oil. A chance to be respected if we buy their shoes, wear their wristbands, bring our mp3 players around in our $300 backpacks specially designed for the $800 bike we ride around so we can complain when we go through a puddle and splash our overpriced jeans made by abused children in India.

  * e.g.,  ... Eric, damn it, you failed your chemistry test! You'll die of lung cancer now!  

 [ "school" ]

10: School is hell.

  * e.g.,  ... ... But Dad, I want to be a poet... 

 [ "school" ]

1: a place where you are lulled into a false sense of security, then your life gets so screwed up, you feel you cant take it any more, you get depressed and experience lots of downs, and some ups.

  * e.g.,  ... my house had a school like atmosphere. 

 [ "school" ]

1: place were you spend first 18 years of life taking it up the ass

  * e.g.,  ... Mom can i stay home from school today? my ass is still sore from english class yesterday 

 [ "school" ]

1: A place where you must deal with work, teachers, events and shithead students all at the same time. The amount of work you get depends on the teacher you have. This is the place where students are treated like 3 year olds, you can't point out your teacher's flaws, talk back, or anything like that, even if the teacher gets completely owned. They come up with some lame excuse/sentence to cover up their wrong, it's sad. And us students have to sit here and put up with the teacher's fucking shit. Half the classes in school are boring as hell. Half the stuff you learn in school won't count for fuck when you're older.

  * e.g.,  ... At school... 

 [ "school" ]

2: It's like being put in a hellhole for 6 in a half hours, once you get outside, you can breathe.

  * e.g.,  ... Teacher: Ok kids, I give you permission to talk once you have finished your assignment. 

 [ "school" ]

3: Overall, school just plain sucks.

  * e.g.,  ... Student: *Finishes work and starts to yak* 

 [ "school" ]

1: Two words: Hell hole.

  * e.g.,  ... What the f*** is wrong with people that send their kids to scholl? 

 [ "school" ]

2: I mean, come on! When in the hell will people just learn that no matter what they say kids don't give a shit?

 [ "school" ]

3: School is a place to go if you want to find pot-heads, sluts, incredibly boring lectures that noone listens to anyway, the retarded, slow-witted beast known as the "principle", and any other form of shit that makes one's chlildhood less enjoyable.

 [ "school" ]

4: Hell, my dad was thrown against a wall by a teacher, and got a concussion.

 [ "school" ]

1: A place you spend your entire life in as a child, and a teenager, hearing the same useless facts over and over again. To make matters worse, after 8th grade, you are sent to a place where the stress of school is amplified. This place is known as high school

  * e.g.,  ... School is stress, High school is amplified stress.. 

 [ "school" ]

1: A place where teachers look down on you and treat you like your stupid, even though you are the main reason that they get paid.

  * e.g.,  ... The only thing school teaches kids is that life is messed up! 

 [ "school" ]

2: A place you are forced to go, even if you know you will never need more than half the stuff they teach you there.

 [ "school" ]

3: A place where kids are bullied every day, and not just by the other students, but the teachers also.
