And now, an exciting piece of news: HIGH SCHOOL ISN'T FREE!
Hello and welcome back to CapOhTV, the channel where we know school is a joke, but you still
have to do something.

Do you want to know something dumb that I hear a lot when I'm substitute teaching?
“Aw, come on, Mister, I'm not doing this work, but it'll be different in college because
I'm paying for it then.”
Well guess what, high school isn't free.
In fact, no school is free!
Did you know that average cost in the United States per student per year from elementary
school up to high school is between $11,000 and $13,000 per year?
So with those figures, after 13 years of school, that's $143,000 of taxpayer money going to
“educate” you.
But it gets worse!
In some states, that cost per year is drastically higher!
For example, in New Jersey, the approximate cost per year in high school—just in high
school—per student is $20,000 per year!
In four years, that's $80,000 dumped into each and every student.
God forbid if you don't graduate in those four years.
But then kids sit there and either fail all their classes or cheat their way through classes
without actually learning anything and say, “oh, it doesn't matter because it'll be
different when I get to college.
I'll care then because I'll be paying for it.”
You've been fooled into thinking that your education is free because, yeah, to you it
seems free because you don't get the bill directly.
But try explaining why you don't care because your education is free to the millions of
people that are paying 5, 6, $7,000 or more in property taxes for you to be able to go
to school!
Now if you're a longtime viewer of this channel, then you already know my feelings about school
in general.
But way too many people take it for granted that they're even given the opportunity to
get something of an education.
Let's be honest for a second and say that school is not for everyone.
And if you are one of those people that think school is not for you, then you are a waste
of taxpayer money.
Now I don't say that to be mean to you because it might be true.
You suck at school.
Maybe you would be better as an electrician, as a bricklayer, as a general contractor,
as something else.
It sucks that there's not an easy way for you to take up a trade and start doing something
while avoiding the social stigma that comes along with dropping out of school, even if
you do it for a very good reason to pursue something that you're good at.
If you're truly in that category where you know school isn't for you, then I urge you
to start doing something about it right now.
But if you're in that other category who scrapes by with Cs and Ds or cheats your way through
with Bs and As and you think that once you get to college it'll all be different because
you're paying for it, well, guess what?
SOMEONE HAS BEEN PAYING FOR YOU YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!
And it makes me sick to think how much money taxpayers are wasting on people like this
in a school system that's broken to begin with at the state and federal level.
All I want you take away from this video is the idea that high school isn't free.
There is no such thing as free education.
Someone is always paying for it.
I know school sucks, but have you ever taken it for granted that you're even given the
opportunity to get an education?
Leave a comment down below and let's talk about that.
