“I'm skeptical about even educating voters as a chance for being successful. You know, when we look at what people retain from high school a year after they've graduated, they've forgotten most everything about history and civics and everything, and I think the main worry here is that because your individual vote counts for so little, you just don't have a strong incentive to invest in the knowledge, to retain the knowledge, to process information in a rational way.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWayYearsLooksLittlesSchoolIndividualStrongProcessChanceWorrySuccessfulInformationHigh SchoolVoteForgottenRationalBeing SuccessfulVotersIncentivesSkepticalCivics Author:Jason Brennan
“I grew up as an only child of two parents who had dropped out of high school.

“Language is the primary way we communicate with each other, and we have really strong feelings about what words mean, and about good language and bad. Those things are really based on sort of an agglutination of half-remembered rules from high school or college, and our own personal views on language and the things we grew up saying, the things we grew up being told not to say.” MeanFeelingsSchoolLanguageStrongCollegeHigh SchoolCommunicateStrong Feeling Author:Kory Stamper
“At the time, I was reading this Miles Davis book, and he was talking about coming to New York right after he was in high school. It kind of made me feel like, "Yeah." I didn't want to go to college; I wanted to do stand-up. And I figured, "What's the point of doing stand-up around DC? I'm always going to be under-appreciated there because I started there." I felt like I was strong enough and unique enough that I should give it a big leash to shine. New York was the best thing that ever happened to me as a comedian.” GivingKindBookEnoughSchoolReadingStrongCollegeUniqueHigh SchoolShiningComedianStrong Enough Author:Dave Chappelle
“I actually felt like college was a much better and more comfortable environment for me than high school was. I think that can largely be attributed to the fact that I go to Barnard, which is a women's college that promotes women's leadership, a strong community and independence which are all things I obviously value. Before I got to school I think I expected most women there to identify as feminist, which I found wasn't necessarily the case, but I loved that I was able to have really intelligent and stimulating conversations with women about feminism no matter how they identified.” ThinkingSchoolValuesStrongCommunityEnvironmentFeminismCollegeHigh SchoolIntelligentIndependenceFeminist Author:Julie Zeilinger

“Think, for a moment, about our educational ladder. We've strengthened the steps lifting students from elementary school to junior high, and those from junior high to high school.
