Man I hate this.
The one thing I loved about schooling in Iran is that there wasn’t a constant system of surveillance.
I hate the idea of long term data collection during a time a kid is supposed to be able to learn.
- dbish 3y agoYup. Take a test and show you should be a good fit for a school, awesome, have to be tracked throughout a relatively boring (classroom-wise, except for programming class) couple years of high school, no thanks.
- germinalphrase 3y agoSurveillance would be a less of problem if we took data and privacy rights more seriously. We should and must.
- renewiltord 3y agoSame. This god-damned nightmare of needing to maintain perfection is great for some kinds of people but not me. I blew off homework often, then killed it on the tests, and killed it in grad school, and quite successful in real life. But the ideal American education is a never ending series of constant evaluation - intended to measure adherence to curriculum over everything else. Absolute nightmare. I'm really considering homeschooling my kids for this.
- aaomidi 3y agoI would’ve never become who I am today if I wasn’t permitted to make mistakes growing up. Western students have the highest suicide rate in the world. People are quick to blame social media, but never look at the pressure we put on them.
