>>79355007
Your teacher was either a shithead, or you reached a completely wrong conclusion. Because while it is possible to believe in different things than others in philosophy, you can't go against something that is fundamentally wrong for the sake of opinion. "Opinions" are generally frowned upon in philosophy.

As far as I know, there's only philosophy courses in College.

Education system here isn't terrible, but its still pretty fucked in some areas. Personally never understand why some teachers care more about grades than they do about their students genuinely understand the concepts being taught to them.

Previous grades that build up towards the mastery of something, such as homework or practice work, shouldn't bite you in the ass. Point is that you learned something, not that you struggled on your way there.

True, studying philosophy in school isn't that important unless you intend to continue in that field. It doesn't matter here though, because OP is trying to start a discussion about the American education system in general.

Because of extreme We Wuzzery and identity crisis from American larpers

>>79354818
Here we have one mandatory year of philosophy in the last grade.
It's a mixed bag because an awful lot of people think "Le philosophy is so complicated xD" and official programs require to learn the very strict and very formal methodology, which drives a lot of people away

But on the flip side, the philosophy we learn is usually pretty advanced and goes a long way if you're interested in it.

Philosophy shouldn't be taught in grade school nor should it be taught in any publicly funded university. A complete waste of fucking time and tax dollars. If you want to learn philosophy go to the library and read about it on your own time.

Yeah we do, you learn it in middle school. It's just people are fucking dumb and they forget or don't pay attention.
