Thanks for the reply. From what I've been told, most z-ers do see education as a means to an end and never internalize the value of the process. The sad part is that when they get to the end, they won't know where to start because they've never taken the time to think for themselves or own their ideas. I hope you find the process of your education - college, trade school, whatever - of as much value as the privilege of the creds that enable you to put it to use.
Thank you. I've started reading on my own and learning a lot more than I ever did in school. It's also worth saying that school has to teach at a level that literally everyone can understand so everything is tailored to the lowest common dominator.
I've heard that too, and I understand the bar has to be very low. My teacher friends tell me that if they fail someone, they actually need to make a case for it - fill out paperwork, provide evidence, the whole nine yards. I'm glad you didn't get bogged down by that garbage. Keep reading and keep learning, stay curious, and all the best to you, fren.
