“I quoted the Tri-Lateral Commission view of the educational system: namely, it’s a system of indoctrination of the young. And I think that’s correct; it’s a system of indoctrination of the young.”
Noam Chomksy, on college education, 1989
Nice. Shit on teachers. As if some of us aren’t trying to help these kids learn to think for themselves, despite the restrictions of the education system and the all the bullshit their parents indoctrinate them into as well.
Kids learn and develop as people in spite of the compulsory schooling curriculum inflicted upon them not because of it, don’t act like as if receiving money for participating in, administering, and perpetuating said detrimental curriculum somehow leaves you in a sympathetic spot, you can say its the parents fault all you want but 15,000 of schooling sure didn’t leave kids with the skills to succeed personally or professionally outside of subsistence pay, get a grip
Teachers are mostly idiots because they went through the same school system and basically just reward people that flatter them and punish anyone that bruises their fragile ego
