The Game Slams Education System: ‘School Was a Government Plot To Keep Track of Us’

The Game is not one to bite his tongue, no matter what the topic is. Most recently, the Compton rapper slammed the education system, saying that once you hit a certain grade level, school doesn't help much.

He even adds that school is Uncle Sam's way of keeping tabs on kids on a regular basis.

"After you learned how to read and do addition, what else did we need school for that we use in everyday life as an adult?" Game asked in a tweet (@IHateGame).

"I think school was a government's plot to keep track of us and program our lives. Up at 7, out at 3PM five days a week."

While Game questioned a school's use in life as an adult, he did explain why he thinks it great -- it gives him a break from his kids.

" ... Them two dudes is animals!" he tweeted, regarding his two sons. "I get it, school is a babysitter. Martin Luther King said: 'The reason we in school 13 yrs is because, that's how long it take to DESTROY a child's mind."

Before ended his rant, Game made sure to send a message to the kids following his tweets ... that is to "STAY IN SCHOOL!"

"Kids, STAY IN SCHOOL," he wrote. "We all gotta do it. I'm from Compton, so maybe it was just our school system that ain't really do sh** for us. My teachers wore khaki suits n ere'thang."

He is just proving how much of a dumb ass he is. School destroy’s kids mind’s, oh but don’t forget to stay in school kids. Ugh

Why yall always trying to defer on everything. He’s not a dummy he might dumb sometimes but he isn’t a dummy – There was a time when people taught themselves how to read and became more educated than the teacher and still moved on with out a diploma or a degree and are millionaires to this date. School is a tracking system as well as social security!!! Get with the truth people. If you can read Praise the lord. Teach somebody else.

@CHANGECLOTHZ, yes eduction is priceless but if the entity giving the education doesnt mean you any good then what you may get is garbabe. You dont want just any education but the right one!!

He is the perfect example of why you should get an education!

He should have tweeted: Kids stay in school or become a damn near 30 year old gang banging, wack actor, label hopping, name dropping, bipolar, alcoholic, gay-stripper, new yorker wanna-be.

He should have stayed in School, then he would not have to speak illiterate to get attention because his career is over.

dretruth - January 29, 2010 at 12:12 pm

We all got an opinion but going to school don’t make you smart it just gives you a start. You can educate your self if you are motivated and have read dick and jane and know what 2+2 equals you can take it from there. There’s many drop out millionaires.

He is right iam in college and the shit they make u take is crazy. i have over 40 hrs of classes that i need to graduate and yet they have nuthing to do with my major.Jus i mean think about it most ppl that graduate spend the rest of their time to student loans. And college makes perfect business since wine i have a econ book ,1 book that cost 275 i mean that is crazy. and most jobs i believe you can be great at with passion and on the job training.

This just goes to show that not everyone who has a platform deserves a platform. Altough he makes a somewhat valid point, his lack of education combined with his piss poor delivery ruined what could’ve sparked a very informative conversation.

DA_SNOWMAN011 - January 30, 2010 at 9:07 pm

He says that once a person learns the fundamentals of reading, writing and basic arithmetic, there is nothing more an adult needs to survive on a day to day…something like that…..I hope he never breaks an arm or worse has it fall off and need a doctor. He be in big trouble, cuz the guy in the street ain’t no MD.

DaTruth1987 - January 31, 2010 at 3:11 pm

Ya’ll are so stereotypical when it comes to rappers speaking they mind. It don’t matter if they graduated or didn’t graduate high school. what the game said may be true if u look at it.

the edjucation system we know now has failed us,so we need a new edjucation system that will teach us to build. and the art of loving our own selves that we may be able to be a help to others.

Mickey T - February 3, 2010 at 9:32 pm

Hey! Let’s take a look at the content and not the speaker. Education’s very important however, don’t be fooled for one minute to think it was designed for everyone. We got the educated broke, and the struggling have not’s and those of us that bubble under the radar. Common sense, some form of training and a motivation to strive for self to expand a brand for your people.

elz - March 2, 2010 at 9:42 am

its tru what the game is saying half of everything they teach us in school is fake the schools and government is all fake and a act freemasonry is the people who poison peoples minds with all the things that go on in this world…. people to need to wake up and realize that the world is ruled by freemasons and they are the one’s who poison peoples mind everyday
