- willcipriano 3y agoI can form much more complete and eloquent sentences and I treated school as the re-education camps that they are. My mother taught me to read, then books (and later the internet) taught me the rest.
- andsoitis 3y ago> I can form much more complete and eloquent sentences much more than what?
- willcipriano 3y ago> It was not much Not a big deal and not something I would point our normally but it lacks punctuation and lands a bit soft for my tastes.
- ttoinou 3y agoI was writing fast, and english isn't my mother tongue. But I'm sure it's about style and taste here. I've read dirty english in Bukowski
- shortrounddev2 3y agoI spent 18 years in school. If the net result is "the student can form a sentence", then 99% of instruction was wasted
- andsoitis 3y agoDid you also learn mathematics? Did you learn anything or were you exposed to anything that interest you and that you pursued more deeply? Did you make friends and learn social skills?
- shortrounddev2 3y agoEverything I use in my career was self taught from the internet. I took many math and other classes that were a waste of time
- andsoitis 3y agoSo if you had children you would not send them to school?
- shortrounddev2 3y agoI'd look into democratic schooling or private schools with alternative pedagogy. My criticism is not of all forms of school and learning, just the conservative, orthodox pedagogy found in public schools and most private schools
- SamPatt 3y agoYou definitely don't have children.
- ngetchell 3y agoI do have kids. The idea that school is just organized babysitting where you learn nothing is an absolutely ridiculous take.
- SamPatt 3y agoSorry about my presumption. Could your children form sentences before they attended school? Almost certainly yes, so I don't understand your earlier claim.
- ttoinou 3y agoWon't send them to public school
