What's the point of going to school when you can learn almost

Reminds me of some guy in my undergrad school who hid books in the ceiling panels of a toilet for cheating in exams.

Sure it'll help in your exams but what'll you do when you are in a real work situation and some guy asks you how this esd works in this panel

Oh let me just go to the shitter I'll explain it momentarily

It's just a standardized way of filtering retards and the most insufferable of the know-it-all pricks (academics) out of the important parts of the work force, nothing more

Because the internet is for porn.

Teaching discipline.

The internet contains a lot of bullshit, and while I'd okay for learning facts it's not so great at teaching you skills.

I think OP mostly meant things like mooc and pirating books, and sites like stack exchange where you can ask your stupid questions.

Because while a lot of information is available on the internet, only an accredited academic institution really has the resources to give you actual experience in many fields as well as assuring that you know what you are doing with a degree.

>>8281658
because the structuring of school makes it a lot easier to learn than on the internet. less sifting through bullshit and support networks

>>8281658
Teachers guide you through the unknown, but you can get an internet teacher I guess.
School just teaches obedience on top of the subjects

Public and private education is a system of control

It's pretty easy to understand, especially when you consider the history of public education in places like prussia and germany

The design is create a compliant working class. Not so much anymore in the modern World, but really you goys can get fucked haha lmao

That is because they get off on being smarter than you.

The point is for everyone involved to make money and get laid.

>>8281658
you try to make friend with offspring of some business magnate so it's easier to get decent job, and maybe they'll invite you to their business world ruling clique, and you will be recognized as one of modern elite business aristocratic class so your offspring will live better life than you do.

>entire accumulated knowledge of humanity is one click away
>average human is still retarded and does not bother to learn
Universities are still needed

1. The piece of paper.
2. It's hard to stay disciplined on your own. Universities give you consequences (failure).

Neither is school.
