surely had something to do with the way school and knowledge is treated there.
You mean like the fact she only started school at 15 and never finished it? We take things like literacy for granted, but they're actually quite difficult to acquire if you don't start young.
Which is not to say that I think her method was a good idea, just that there may not really have been other options.
- diziet 16y agoI think I was not fully clear on who I meant treats school and knowledge. I was talking about the public, about the fact that we, and the media, exclaim and proclaim her diligence and hard working nature. That's the ironic and sad part. Working smart is better than working hard (except, of course, when you need to work hard and smart). Imagine if instead of the current computerized mail sorting system we had thousands of post workers sitting there and sorting mail, diligently. Is that something to be applauded?
