I don't even know why I haven't dropped out. The professor is just there to summarize the readings and to politely affirm our bullshit amateur opinions.

Education got shittier once it became less elite

>high school English
>it's actually babby's first ethics class
Why did they call it English if they never made us learn grammar?

>>8666169
Not him, but whats the point of teaching shit to 50% of the population, if only 15% will actually use it for something meaningful, and only 2% will use it for great things.


Its like giving 40 different people components for a nuclear fission device.

35 will sit there and complain its too hard, or just give up.
4 will get maybe halfway through and be like well shit teach me how
1 will assemble it

>Education got shittier once it became less elite

Funny thing is, this is just a tautology. But our education system can't even recognize this anymore.

What fucked over education in the West was industrial capitalism, followed by female suffrage and finally the GI Bill to finish it off.

The system will have to be destroyed from the outside before any progress can be made. Nuke Harvard, firebomb Yale.

For that 2% obviously. Although I wish it was anywhere close to that number

Oh great, /pol/ has arrived to provide us with intelligent opinions

Every time.

>>8666230
It was pol from the start

>>8666194
If you made it to high school and don't know grammar you're a lost cause.

>>8666202
Keeping kids at school teaches them some amount of discipline and keeps them from making too much trouble on the streets.

Also opportunities to do what you want and shit, you can't necessarily tell what someone is capable of when they''re five. And basic education is necessary for a pretty good chunk of jobs.

That's why.

>>8666258
You don't need much education to swing a sword, carry stuff, or take a dick.

>>8666019
dont see much of a difference desu

>>8666230

quite often /pol/ is right you know

>>8666284
A broken clock is right twice a day

>>8666202
>great things
implying people can understand let alone achive greatness

>>8666285
A broken toilet is never right.

>>8666267
>swing a sword
No one does this anymore.

>carry stuff
Only low class laborers. We have a lot of white collar middle class type jobs that need to be filled these days too.

>take dick
In difficult economic situations women sometimes need to work. And there are some jobs that are better suited to women, like nursing and teaching young children,

>>8666294
Women are capable of doing all the same jobs as men.

>people unironically believe this

The real reason western education failed is because. It strayed from God.

>>8666021
can confirm, there's a kid in my college who looks exactly like that except their hair is pink

1969

>>8666342
>because. It
And of course it hasn't failed. There are more educated people than ever before as well as more highly educated people. Still a fair few superstitious doom-mongers though.

>>8666370

educated in whore studies and nigger relations maybe.

>>8666315
I wonder where all the female miners are.

>>8666394
Maybe there would be more if the miner work environment wasn't full of toxic masculinity.

You can go several hundred meters below ground and wrestle valuable metals out of nature's hands but you can't deal with blue collar guys fucking around?

Go to a better university. I'm only on first year material and just today we spent an hour discussing a 4 stanza poem and didn't even go into absolutely everything. And our instructor had laryngitis.

>>8666258

This. I was a horrible student but it gave me the opportunity to get a good job and not be a mouth breathing mongoloid. I will never write the next Moby Dick, but I contribute to society.

>>8666370
>There are more educated people than ever before as well as more highly educated people

Both of these statements mean literally nothing

Leibniz was an exception not the rule

>but I contribute to society.

>>8666486

I pay taxes and post dank memes

>>8666486
>Things on the internet aren't part of society

Naww dude. The harsh truth is that, today, society is at least 50% within the internet
