🎓 SCHOOL'D: Education Exposed part 1

What They Teach Ain’t What You Learn

So here’s the bellringer: American education ain't just underfunded—it’s over-filtered, overpriced, and over it.

Most folks still think schools are where you get “prepared for life.” Nah. You get prepped for systems—credit scores, corporate silence, emotional suppression, and whatever test the state made up after their last panic attack.

They want compliance, not curiosity. They want stats, not souls. And they want you to walk the stage proud—while secretly bankrupt, broken, or medicated.

🎭 Curriculum Theater

What’s taught = what’s allowed = what’s safe for them.

Your history textbook skipped whole revolutions. Black Wall Street? Redlined. Native voices? Soft-muted. Queer icons? Edited out unless it’s Pride Month and they need a poster child.

We’ve got “Founding Fathers” but no founding frauds. Shiny civics, but zero context about who civics have historically left behind. Reading lists built by people who flinch at truth but love awards.

💵 GradCap or CashTrap?

College is the mall. Tuition is the price tag.

They sold you an “experience.” Slick campuses, bold fonts, brochures with smiling future CEOs. But the fine print? Loans you can’t dodge, degrees that don’t work, majors designed for industries that vanished in 2013.

And when it doesn’t pan out, they say: “You should’ve networked more.” You should’ve picked coding. You should’ve shut up and stayed positive.

Nah. You should’ve been told it’s a hustle, not a guarantee. Because diploma drip don’t cover the leak in your bank account.

🧠 Mental Math

Anxiety ain't a unit test, but they grade you on it anyway.

School should be where young minds bloom. Instead, it’s where they’re rushed, labeled, ignored, medicated, or burned out before freshman year ends.

Counselors overstretched. Teachers gaslit by their own admins. Neurodivergent kids treated like broken machines. And emotional trauma? That gets a lunch break and a return to class.

Mental health is either ignored or commodified. “Mindfulness week” don’t mean squat when your school can’t afford actual care.

🕳️ Accredited Lies

The for-profit diploma hustle is thriving—and nobody called the cops.

You’ve got “universities” selling pre-written papers, fake internships, and the illusion of prestige. Accreditation gets waved like a magic wand—but it’s often just a handshake and some paperwork.

Whole generations walk away with debt, not opportunity. The brochures said “flexible learning.” Reality said “six figures in loans and a part-time job at the smoothie place.”

You didn’t fail. You were misled. And they profited either way.

🕵️‍♂️ Cultural Detention

Subculture ain’t welcome unless it sells merch.

From saggy pants to speech patterns, from braids to bilingualism—anything outside the default gets flagged. Dress codes, suspensions, curriculum censorship—it’s the system defending its fantasy version of America.

ESL kids? Told they’re slow. Queer kids? Told they’re “distracting.” Black and brown kids? Told they’re “angry.” Artistic kids? “Unfocused.” Quiet kids? “Unmotivated.”

You see it yet? Education wasn’t built to nurture your difference. It was built to flatten it.

📏 Truth Ain’t on the Test

Standardized testing is a whole con.

It’s numbers theater. It’s funding drama. It’s politicians pointing fingers while kids get pencil anxiety and teachers lose sleep.

And here’s the kicker: Most of the questions ain’t real-life skills. They're filters—who fits the mold, who doesn’t, who can be “invested in,” and who’s “too risky.”

And your worth? Reduced to a Scantron sheet that couldn’t care less about your story.

🛠️ Fix It? Or Burn It Down?

Look—we won’t pretend this is just about “improvement.” Education needs a redo at its root. Not a pep rally, not a hashtag, and not another fake diversity poster.

USAYE’s calling it: This is the system’s favorite scam. They don't just miseducate—they manufacture consent, conformity, and compliance. And every article we drop from here is gonna be a bulldozer of that blueprint.

Want me to build a social mini-series from this? Maybe spin merch slogans like “Truth Isn’t on the Test”, “School’d But Not Fooled”, or “Educated to Fail”? And if you want to roll Part 2 next—I’m already fired up. Let’s educate the educators. ✊🏼📢
