    I was once told “we’re not going to teach you what you need to know, just what employers want you to know”. Lost all respect for that “teacher” in that moment, as well as the school.

    This was not recently either, that kind of dumbification has been going on for decades.

      That’s more worthy of respect than someone who doesn’t admit that capitalism affects our education system
