Naw: Not all but much of the unwritten but standard rule of all of education from K-Ph.D. is (A) to exercise the standard drive people, the teachers and their bureaucracies, have to control and direct other people, the students, and (B) to make those under the control to knuckle down, put their nose to the grindstone, shoulder to the wheel, burn the midnight oil, be disciplined, prove themselves, be obedient, stimulate the metabolism to be able to work while sleep deprived, .... One way to see this -- as I did twice in grad school and once in high school -- is to take a filter, flunk out course when already know the material very well and easily and effortlessly make As and lead the class -- the prof can become really angry that he was not able to intimidate the student, lower the student's self-esteem, show the student that they, the prof, know more than the student could hope to know, etc. In this case, the 3Rs, the STEM fields, the term papers, etc. are not really the preparation for life but merely the packaging while the real preparation is (B).
