{"product_id":"2940149982257","title":"School Is Bad For You: Volume Pink: School Makes You Stupid and Mean","description":"Why do people act like sheeple?  Why are inner city public schools so violent?  Why do little kids just say the darndest things?  Why are some people so discouraging and pessimistic?  Why they’re so many haters?   Why do little kids talk to everybody but adults don’t even acknowledge strangers around them?  What makes some people so controlling and others so boring?  Why do some people hold onto their false beliefs even in the face of truth?  Why is bipolar disorder, anorexia and attention deficit disorder so rampant among our youth?\u003cbr\u003e In this three part series, the answer to all these questions and hundreds more is actually school.  The problems we face as a society aren’t rooted in the lack of discipline or “education” of our youth, but are the manifestations of our school system—all school systems including private and home schools—more specifically the artificial simulation of real life, the hierarchy of positions and roles in the school system, and the methods in which we try to make children learn.  \u003cbr\u003e Throughout this book, you will learn of hundreds of impacts school has on our psychology and society.  Our own values are twisted, and where both content and teaching styles imply a recurring theme of consumerism and dependence.  \u003cbr\u003e You see that squirrel right there?  He taught himself how to provide for himself and he didn’t go to school.  That animal doesn’t even think in a verbal language and has a brain the size of a peanut, and yet he’s living a happier life than probably 99% of us out there.  We don’t need a costly school system, but can better achieve life’s purpose by learning through real life experiences, mimicking adults, self-directed learning, games and apprenticeships. \u003cbr\u003eThis book, Volume Pink: How School Makes You Stupid and Mean, shows how school perpetuates disinformation and makes you gullible, stupid, selfish, mean and prejudice.  Because of corporate power to interject subliminal messages into our school curriculum, school acts like one big rumor creator passing around half-truths, lies and very questionable values.  The hierarchy between the students and teachers plant the seeds of control, prejudice and disrespect.  Simply teaching and the nature of the assignments have drastic affects on the students: it makes them dependent on authority, makes them dislike learning and makes the student incapable of directing his own life in adulthood.  The examples and exercises in this book will liberate your mind, enabling you to learn from just about anything and everything, overcome mean and controlling behaviors and find love and happiness in the people already in your life.","brand":"Shira Mora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182893777136,"sku":"2940149982257","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149982257_p0.jpg?v=1763727928","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149982257","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
