“It's full of phonies, and all you do is study so that you can learn enough to be smart enough to buy a goddam Cadillac some day, and you have to keep making believe you give a damn if the football team loses, and all you do is talk about girls and liquor and sex all day, and everybody sticks together in these dirty little goddam cliques.”
Holden says this referring to boys schools. It seems like he disagrees with anything that the majority thinks. He is very pessimistic about anything related to other people his age or older. This opinion he has about school may be why he has failed out of so many. With this attitude Holden has he would have no reason to try to stay in school. This statement helps me to understand why Holden has failed out of so many schools, even though I do not think that he knows why.
