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 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
But hey I'm a crazy conspiracy theorist
don't listen to the guy with logic
@Gilgamesh the HS thing is something you have to test people for
it does live on, it does not completely die off, but it does die down in many people
and finding ones who aware of its follys goes a long way
the critical thinking vs memorization thing is a different and larger concept which i don't know when it can be addressed
but you see atleast a reasonable amount of academics who admit to being aware of it
besides his views on agnostic>atheist that was one area i really like niel degrasse tyson for, he talked about that subject a lot. he couldn't answer for a solution to it but admitted its a thing. part in problem the system is devised to test off memory, so be it, what can one do. ideally in the real world it does matter more but opportunities don't always come the way of the problem solvers
dafuq did i return to
Boobs and Dicks
nice
