get this too

i wanna go to Evergreen College in Olympia, WA

always wanted to

lo and behold, they became a cesspool of far left madness while I was waiting to go there

I'm a left-leaning independent

and I was fucking furious over their riots

Evergreen seems like a good college as long as you keep away from the politics

yeah

I know I'd have to keep my fuckin mouth shut

The system itself is great, and the campus looks beautiful

it is

Its just the retarded faculty and students

surrounded by many acres of trees

pass/fail system, project-oriented

There's no grades, narrative reports

i was so fucking mad when the riots broke out

Seems to have calmed down now tbh

I hope so

anyone here deal with workplace cliques?

my journalist team at my college is so cliquey, it's nauseating

in-jokes and passive aggressiveness

and the one other new guy who doesn't get it

keeps trying to joke with them, 20 times now, every time they are silent and ignore him

whatever band said highschool never ends was right

if most adults have highschool degrees, or just past highschool, it's really all the same mental level

the difference is how dedicated you were to having a rank. the mental acuity is the same on average, I think

that's why there are teachers who are embarrassed by students who go on to basically fuck up

standardized testing is a joke.

the masses look up to people who memorize things better than others, but they're worse at critical thinking.

they are memorizing facts without knowing how they got to that point.

it's like if we had a class on Star Trek.

the people who question plot holes fail.

the people who memorize what happened pass

it's just ironic in my opinion

we criticize critical thinkers because most of what we think is true is HOLY AND SANCTIFIED BY OUR LORD FACTS

yet most of those facts are just agreed-upon opinions or narratives

so much fucking horseshit

Imagine 500 years of newspapers where everyone just wrote what they were told to write because they wouldn't make any money otherwise

extend that to 2000 years

hell, even say that if they didn't write what they were told to write, they'd be burned at the stake and their wife would be raped and murdered along with their children

i mean come on
