Michael Grant When I see my kids deal with school I really feel justified in dropping out myself. They come home depressed, angry and exhausted. And these are good schools, some of the best. And still there is something profoundly wrong with the way they work. That's not a knock on teachers, the teachers are the least of the problem. The regimentation, the testing obsession, the college application pressure, the dragging kids out of bed at 7 AM, high school kids working 10 hour days by the time they're done with homework, the fact that there isn't even any minimal co-ordination on homework to keep teachers from all piling on at once. It's deeply f----- up. It's wrong Things are much worse today than they were when Katherine and I were kids. Many days we feel sick to our stomachs dropping our kids off at school. I feel I'm betraying them. And when they come home at the end of another day of enduring this asinine, soul-crushing system, I feel like I should hand them a drink. I'd sure as hell be having one. Let me put it this way: I get paid to do what I do, and I control my own schedule, and I use cigars, caffeine and alcohol to take the edge off a work day that is shorter and easier than what my kids endure. I don't do half the work Jake does You want to know why kids use drugs? We're driving them to it, that's why. And we're doing it for reasons of status, for b------- credentialing, for the sake of posturing politicians and reckless, stupid adults. Unlike "Comment . Share . 12 hours ago .
