Well, yeah, I knew about NCLB and the funding. Since my school didn't do that I'm not as aware of how it worked, but it seems to be common sense. You can pay an art teacher, or you can by new math textbooks. Or you can use the time to have students study something that will be beneficial in the workforce, like a second language or business. We were taught that in the business world, no one cares if you're good at football or if you can play the violin, unless you're trying to impress potential customers/business allies.

Again, we didn't have that stuff, so maybe it was a lot of fun. But sometimes you've got to make tradeoffs. I don't regret my education, and while obviously not everyone wants to have the same education, I personally would recommend my education to someone else, even the public schools.

Your education sounds more and more like Right-wing corporate brainwashing.

I'm still leaning toward this being a beautifully elaborate troll (in which case, once the curtain's down, A+, would lol again). This ubiquitous "they" teaching "us" that human beings are tools and that they should be completely soulless automatons.

I'm pretty sure even Right-winger have hobbies and enjoy art.

I don't think it was, though. I learned a lot, just probably different things from what a public school student learned. I know math and computer science, and I studied English literature, but I also had classes that most public schools probably wouldn't have as required.

You learned useful things, yes. But you were also instilled with a set of values that are frankly, sociopathic.

(Anonymous) 2011-04-06 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... well, I don't really see how I'm sociopathic, or how what I learned is sociopathic. I mean, I studied pretty much the same stuff as everyone else.

You do realize that not everybody goes into the same "workforce" right? That without artists and musicians making product, there would be precious little for you business-types to buy/sell?

That the world at large could use far less people trained like you and far more folks trained to see people life human beings instead of cogs to go into a machine. Hell, what's the machine you're building at that point, if there's no room for any fun that can't be quantified. Might as well plug in, coppertop, and let the robot overlords enslave us already.

You don't sound like a person. I don't mean that you sound like a troll. I mean...you sound like someone who is nothing. Just a name and a number. Someone who has absolutely nothing that makes them worthwhile. For your sake, I hope things get better for you, and that it's not the sort of realization that hits you ten years down the road, staring at a bottle and wondering what the point is.
