Man this brings back childhood memories. I just look back and wonder why I had to spend all that time with annoying morons. Really makes me wonder how differently things turned out but if we had the technology to contact the split universe where my other self is basically as best as it could be I wonder if I could still feel that it's me. Not just a person who looks identical.

School is a prison for children.

It gets you used to working with annoying morons.

Maybe that lesson is overrated.

If you work with the annoying morons as one of them, you are probably doing something wrong. And if you are their boss... well, this is the part the school didn't teach you.
