I, like many of you, hold dumb grudges about the time I was right in high school. The one that really sticks out to me is how no never ever replied to "when will I need this in the real world?" with "you may not, but the act of learning it will help you" That's literally all they had to say. Instead they did this weird thing where they felt telling the truth was somehow giving the game away?? Cursive and long division are cool skills to learn how to learn weird hard things, and the teachers could have just said as much. I mean, they could even just say look I don't know what skills you'll need later on because things change too much, but what I can teach you is how to handle the weird difficult things you may come across as an adult. Ugh ugh ugh. Actually I change my answer, it's the time they brought in a dude to explain in laborious detail that the Devinci Code isn't real Because the teachers were all brainwormed penty fundementalists who couldn't think for themselves and were constantly gaslighting themselves into thinking badshit things and were afraid we would too.

Lascivious Sloth posted:Do schools still teach writing? it's such a useless waste of time I'm pretty sure we literally spent 30+% of the week learning how to write perfect letters like who gives a gently caress. Especially now days with computers, and the fact doctors and chemists write like downies so obviously writing skill is worth nothing in real life

I don't want to be mean to workplaces, but I can't help but feel the adult equivalent to all this is how it feels most jobs have a least some element of bullshit to them. Of course I'm talking about office jobs and such, and how "poo poo you were taught in school" somewhat continues into adult life with "poo poo you have to do/justifications people give for poo poo you have to do at work" I guess what I'm trying to say is maybe the meta is hosed.
