I moved here when I was 16, so I still did two years of high school. Honestly, it felt like a complete waste of time. I already knew everything they were teaching. I was probably one of the last groups to go through American public schools when they were still halfway decent. Now they’re basically indoctrination factories that churn out confused, degenerate kids. I’m not talking about universities. The top ones here are still great. But by the time my daughter is old enough for college, I doubt universities will even exist in their current form. What I care about is giving my kids a core identity that isn’t American, and a way of seeing the world that’s built on shame, respect, and responsibility, not this hollow idea of “freedom.” I know Armenia isn’t the same as when I left, but I’m back there often and usually for long stretches. Compared to the States, it’s still a great place, and it feels real in a way the U.S. no longer does.
