I’m still processing what I watched. S04E7 of #MrRobot was the best television I’ve seen since... I don’t know.

"Tell me one thing, Elliot. Are you a one or a zero? That's the question you have to ask yourself. Are you a yes or a no? Are you going to act or not?"

@jasonl8446 @realcaseyrollins It's rent-seeking. CEO's kid is going to private school, CEO's kid doesn't have to deal with Common Core bullshit.
@p @realcaseyrollins
Its about having everyone pass and indoctrination rather than education. Its honestly pathetic
@realcaseyrollins That's the thing, I watched one of the hearings on Common Core math, one of the Congressmen asked how this was going to affect kids that don't need the stuff and get bored by it, and the Common Core dude said that the target was the kids that are lagging, not the kids that are able to understand math.

Public school was always a garbage fire, this is worse.
@realcaseyrollins "is this what the kids think is cool nowadays?"

poor guy...
@sim @realcaseyrollins in my view public schools have largely served as a future employee indoctrination system. Where can one develop entrepreneurial skills if the hidden curriculum is trying to instill obedience and rule-following into you?
@realcaseyrollins Hmm. Not sure how that would look but it would likely benefit everyone to some degree. I mean, there are skillsets you need to become an entrepreneur that just isn't taught in schools right now but would benefit you even if you were an employee, you know? Mostly relating to communication, getting/negotiating contracts and earning the confidence you need to make it. Maybe also how to handle stress.

@a7 @p @colonelj If what they see saying can be verified I'll believe them. In general I'm just not a big fan of heresay.
