13th and 14th grade??

I think going through 4 grades of bullshit is enough for one lifetime, don’t you agree? Besides you don’t have to go to college ‘cause most jobs you can apply will still accept high school diplomas in your job application anyway

I went to a small college for 2 years after high school and I was miserable there. High school certainly wasn't perfect, but in comparison to my experience at college, I would've actually much rather have done 2 extra years in high school.

And I think pushing everyone into college fresh out of high school is part of the reason why we have seen colleges become overrun by SJWs.

I think an optional 2 extra grades might be a better alternative.

When you put it that way, how could I disagree?

bacclerate programs and occupational programs should exist within the schools. but yeah they need more time to complete them.

You're requesting to extend your mandatory prison sentence? Quite the strange bit of Stockholm Syndrome you got goin' thar...

Personally, my experience at college felt more like a prison sentence than in high school. I felt completely lonely and isolated at the college I went to; none of the professors I had were helpful, and the tutoring the college offered was always booked.

It seemed that I had more freedom of thought in high school than I would have at most colleges today.

Do you not find it ironic that we have to go through college and deal with SJWs and Marxist professors in order to get a well-paying job in a capitalist society?

I agree with dogsruled that baccalaureate and occupational programs should be offered in high school.

Most public schools are worse. You should be grateful you went to the one you did. Those SJWs don't appear out of thin air - Most of that shit starts in public schools. Beyond that, because you don't pay for public schools (and thus cannot 'bring your money elsewhere'), they feel no obligation to 'please the customer', so typically public school faculty and staff are mostly abusive pricks.

So, I dunno' what school you went to, but I can pretty much assure you based on your disposition towards it that your experience was atypical. The rest of us went to the shit American public schools that churn out those marxists that you were able to avoid until college - That is the biproduct that public schools (outside of yours, apparently) are known for producing...

I agree, which is why I support the complete abolition of teachers' unions, and abolishing school districts. Schools should have to compete for students just as businesses have to compete for customers.

But there is another reason why I support an optional extension to high school and that is dating. Since graduating from high school, even meeting young women I find attractive has been quite difficult. I'm 24, and the only girls I ever encounter who seem even remotely interested in me are middle schoolers.

The only girl I met at the college I went to who seemed vaguely interested in me was a chubby Latina... not my type.

On dating apps like Tinder, I only started getting likes when I changed my location to Norway... take that as you will.

After I left the college, I was hired at a Godiva chocolate store in the mall near where I live. In the 2 years that I worked there I only met one girl I found attractive and could've potentially started a relationship with - a 19-year-old girl who worked with us for about a month and a half until Covid shut down the mall. She never returned to our store after the mall reopened and I haven't seen her at all. None of the other female coworkers I've worked with even fall within the demographic of women I would date.

Just before I met that girl, I even tried messaging a cute transgender girl I came across on Snapchat, and not even she was interested.

I'm not really much of a drinker, and I've never been to a bar or club (I have Crohn's disease).

And as I recall, the only church I found in my county that had an ongoing singles group aimed at people around my age is Mormon, and I don't believe in that faith.

Overall, I feel like the best place to meet young women (at least where I live) was actually back in high school. If high school had lasted a couple years longer, I might have had better successes with dating - at least there, I was exposed to a high volume of attractive girls on a daily basis.

Well, depending on where you live, good luck with that
