How about, instead of "connecting", they stopped stealing the kids future and for once thought them something useful?

@LukeAlmighty @fluffy

Teachers just teach the class they teach. It's up to the student to find useful classes to learn from.

@nerdman @fluffy
Not sure where you're from, but in here, primary schools have fixed curriculum, High schools have a fixed curriculum and Universities have 80 percent fixed curriculum, so where the fuck am I supposed to choose?

@LukeAlmighty @fluffy

Other than that... Primary school should be hardcore math, reading and writing. So that by grade 7 or 8 you can do basic calculus. After that, everything elective.

@nerdman @fluffy
100 percent agree about the primary school.

About the universities, in here, we do have to gather enough points, but 80 percent of the subjects are selected for us, so if we do not care about the diversity corporatism classes, we can just quit outright.

@LukeAlmighty @nerdman @fluffy It's crazy how you get points for attending a lecture on diversity tbh. They probably know that is the only way people will attend them at university.
@sim

Meanwhile, I'll happily listen to hours of Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell for free in my spare time. I'll choose them over purpose-made entertainment much of the time. Take that how you will. :friedman:

@LukeAlmighty @fluffy @nerdman
@leyonhjelm @LukeAlmighty @fluffy @nerdman Ahh, but will it give you points for university credits? I didn't think so!
@sim

Why would I want university credits when I could get educated instead?

@LukeAlmighty @fluffy @nerdman
@leyonhjelm @LukeAlmighty @fluffy @nerdman Touche. But uni credits are how you get a career these days. Lmao.

@sim @leyonhjelm @nerdman @fluffy
No, it isn't
A good handshake and a wide smile is how you get a career. I learned that the hard and expensive way.

@LukeAlmighty

Getting the initial experience and learning soft skills are key. Any good job I've ever had, I didn't apply for. I got invited right in because of exactly what you describe.

Of course, Some certificate-based fields like architecture do have an educational requirement in most cases (though there ought to be other paths). The good handshake and wide smile are still what will get you the job.

I asked for the job I am in twice. And the first time, they outright told me, that I acted weird.

So, I spend one year in bookshop "mastering the art of a good smile"... The second interview went smoothly as fuck.

@LukeAlmighty @sim @nerdman @leyonhjelm @fluffy I feel like everyone here has mastered the art of the scowl or of disinterest.
