School was utterly useless and is 85% jumping through hoops and checking boxes, 10% realising that people with authority are almost invariably useless and don't care about you, and 5% trying to remember how to do percentages and the more complex maths. What is Sin, CoSin, and all that other stuff? What is Log? I used to press those buttons on my calculator to get the right answers, but I never understood what they meant.
School really is the most spectacular waste of time and resources.

Pfft! That's nothing. Our fearless leader taught himself the meaning of the word autodidact.
