Rolivers

I’m in my late 30s and feel that way about the schools I went to. I studied chemistry and while some of the material was good most of my grades were about teacher pleasing and completing arbitrary assignments.

They cared more about layout and formatting than about actual content in project reports.

Edit: I think the main purpose of higher schools is not to learn but to prepare you for corporate life. Accept whatever task is given no matter how stupid or wasteful it is. Also don’t challenge authority because your grades will suffer and if you do it too much you’ll fail.

Oh yeah? Today there are more people dying from dihydrogen monoxide than in the past.

Honestly I think schools these days are a test of patience and a test of playing social games. Not intelligence.

I expected a Cave Johnson reference and was not disappointed.
