Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It can be applied to any hegemonic class, really.

But yes, it's rich people. Public schools may have originally risen out of defiance of the hegemony, at least in some notably locations, but they were quickly captured by it.

Schools over a place where the rich of the past can be aggrandised, and the rich of the present can ensure the workforce gains the basic skills to keep making them money, while also hearing about how it is right, and natural, and inevitable that they get to keep the product of your labour.

A place where your movement and thought is determined by schedules down to the minute and broken up by bells is an industrialist's wet dream.

"WORK TIME IS NOW"

"REST WHEN THE BELL RINGS"

"LUNCH TODAY WILL BE SLOPPY JOES"

“I’ll tell you how I feel about school, Jerry: It’s a waste of time. Bunch of people runnin’ around bumpin’ into each other, got a guy up front says, ‘Two plus two,’ and the people in the back say, ‘Four.’ Then the bell rings and they give you a carton of milk and a piece of paper that says you can go take a dump or somethin’. I mean, it’s not a place for smart people, Jerry. I know that’s not a popular opinion, but that’s my two cents on the issue.” — Rick

Yeah, he said that, but we all know he was gaslighting Jerry and Beth. I kinda assume Rick is lying whenever he says almost anything at this point.

Until you added the Rick part, I read this in Kramer's voice
