If I want to change the US Schooling system, or at least that of New York (or get a chance for people to vote)?

So, here it is. I hate school. Schooling is not the source of education. It gives you knowledge in useless subjects and knowledge is not wisdom nor intelligence unless it is applied to your life. Life is about kissing your boss's ass and making enough money so your spouse and kids can have a good meal once in a while. It is not about measuring the distance from the centre of the Earth to Mercury. Let the people who want to do that, further approach the topics in astronomy that deal with said. I do not feel like I should be subject to the obligations of studying complex forces in Physics, vectors in Physics, reading Macbeth and The Color Purple, and learning about the history of Ethiopia. If I feel I want to learn about the above, I am allowed to search these topics online (internet) or pick out books/texts to read. School has been like this for a long time, and no one has revolted. I want to get my opinion heard. Kids only go to school to be sucked up and brainwashed by teachers into thinking they're getting a proper "education." It is time this changes. The education system is said to be horrible and perhaps one of the reasons is resources are wasted on teaching such minor, insignificant topics. My mother barely remembers history and geography and can no longer speak French (or remember anything). My dad (though very smart) doesn't remember much of Trigonometry and Vectors, however they both know far beyond extraordinary amounts of Medicinal topics because they have decided to pursue their careers in medicine as Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Why should they have been subject to all of this codswallop if neither is using any topics in his life now. I have to make the [world] realise schooling is not right. How do I go about changing the way things work. If you disagree with me anywhere, please, your opinion will be acknowledged and heard. Thank you and yeh

  1. Ah, but one does not have wisdom until he has learned how to use knowledge. One can have knowledge without wisdom but one cannot have wisdom without knowledge. School may suck to you, but to many more of us, it is what has given us the edge we have to compete in the world. I personally hated Math when I was in school, but I will forever be grateful to those teachers who went the extra mile to make sure I could do those awful algebraic equations. I've used that knowledge many times since. The same goes for those who taught me to read and write (something I'm doing right now as a matter of fact...and something you're doing too) You might not be 'using' that knowledge now, but when you need it and don't have it, you'll wish you did. There are people in the world who would die for a chance to attend a real school and learn from real teachers instead of having to get their education the hard way.
