High school graduation

Kids work hard for four years waking up at 8 AM and leaving school at 3 pm about 7 hours in an institution. There under the confines of teachers , principals and campus security. High school is the closest thing to prison ,only with out the guns (at least some schools don't have guns) . Teens are taught to laugh, taunt, brag, interact socially ,ignore those that are not considered popular or weird. An institution where its the "smart" and "good looking" that get recognized. Where those who seek attention will get it although then do not deserve it. And institution where teachers don't necessarily teach but expect you to memorize words and be able to remember their meaning for a test. Where dates are simply just dates and have no other significant meaning for example September 11,2001 the day two massive structures were struck by planes and collapse killing almost 3 thousand people.
High school an institution where teachers hold the hands of children so they can pass and high school can keep their budget for next year whereas the child doesn't really learn anything but is only able to recite what he has memorized. Mist children are not taught critical thinking which is essential for higher education.
