The thing that really triggered me was at the age of 18, my school introduced a social credit score system.
A psychopath egomaniac English teacher found my "disrespect" so problematic (not handing in assignments that were retarded and taught me nothing about the English language) he used this social credit score to attack me, openly refused to let me decide the book for a book report after asking the class group if they had a preference.

"Specifically because you said Nineteen Eighty Four, we are not doing that".

That was before he downgraded my score, leading to me completely abandoning my studies and by the end of the last semester, all my class results had fallen to D, with IT, mainly SQL, having a C, and I should note I got 99% on the SQL test.
The end result was I got an OP (tertiary entry score) of 15, which was still a high score, in the top 10%, but not enough for Computer Science, which required a 9, and after witnessing how little school had to do with education - this incident was just the cherry on top, I was at that point an avowed enemy of all human authority.
Let's just say that he couldn't have picked a better moment to make me realise that the education system was not about helping people learn, but shaping them into loyal servants of the system.
There was other things that all contributed together, and I was, as it was, taught a lot of things about the society we live in being corrupt and evil, via the Seventh Day Adventist church doctrines and stories, and my family were all misfits, and from day one I encountered the malice of people in the open prison they call school.
Home school your kids is the lesson here parents.
