Dr. Thurmer told Holden that life is a game and one must play by the rules in order to succeed, upsetting Holden because he sees it as insincere and hypocritical - particularly given the phony and superficial nature of the school community at Pencey Prep. Holden values authenticity and dislikes anything he perceives as fake or artificial.

In JD Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye what are some of Holden's complaints about Pencey Prep?
To begin with, Holden thinks the school is full of phonies. The principal is a phony because he only treats the wealthy-looking parents with respect. [That sentence is incorrect. In page 13-14, when Holden talks about his principal who only treats the wealthy parents with respect, he is referring to Mr. Haas of Elkton Hills, not Dr. Thurmer of Pencey Prep.] Lots of the students are phonies. Holden's also annoyed that the school has no girls, and he "like[d] to be somewhere at least where you can see a few girls around." [That quote is when Holden is on the hill looking at the football stadium in the beginning of the story. Pencey Prep is an all boys school.] He also complains that the school advertises its ability to take young boys and mold them into "splendid, clear-thinking young men", but Holden believes the school can't take credit for molding any of the boys, because the ones who graduate as good people were good people before they even enrolled. He is entirely disinterested in all his classes; he never applies himself; he hates his roommate (and his neighbor) [Holden doesn't necessarily hate Stradlater, his roommate, or Ackley, his neighbor. However, he both thinks they're phonies.]; and he's only passing one class -- English.
