A short, first-person monologue (YouTube) in which the speaker, addressing someone named Cody, critiques the U.S. schooling progression. The speaker says they spent 14,000 hours from kindergarten through 12th grade repeatedly learning core subjects (math, science, English, history), describes how those subjects simply reappear at higher levels (math→algebra, science→biology/chemistry, history→social studies), and expresses disillusionment that high school or college would teach the 'keys to success.' A mentor is briefly referenced.

Chapters

I went through the same school system you went through, Cody, and unless you went to a different school. I spent 14,000 hours from kindergarten to 12th grade learning math, science, English, history, over and over and over again. And then I thought, well, maybe when I get to high school, then. And my mentor talked about this. Right. My mentor taught, I thought, high school, like, maybe it's better. Oh, no. Math became algebra. Yeah. Science became biology and chemistry. You know, history became social studies. And I thought, well, maybe when I get to college, yeah. That's where I'm going to learn the keys to success. It was the same stuff, just harder. So.
