I was aiming for neutrality ;)
Back when public schooling started in the US, I gather that it was about preparation for factory work. And military service, I guess.
But I do agree with the dead comment that it tends to kill off creativity, curiosity and playfulness.
- asveikau 6y agoI don't know if it kills off those things, so much as make things unpleasant for people possessing them. You can very well end up with those traits intact at the other end of a high school education, you just won't like it. Then thankfully, the format and contents of a college course tends to be a little more amenable to those types.
- olau 6y agoI think it does, in the sense that people in the middle of the curve get used to not using them, which affects their work negatively.
