I know people’s experience varies on this but I absolutely hated high school, and only discovered that I enjoyed learning as a process because of uni. And I’d probably still be small minded and somewhat bigoted if I hadn’t gone. Simply because it forced me to critically evaluate my own views and also exposed me to a number of types of people I wouldn’t have encountered otherwise.

It’s a shame it’s so expensive in some countries, because I think it’s important to have a well-educated society more broadly.
