Children in coal towns don't need to know Shakespeare and shouldn't have aspirations./s
- LudwigNagasena 1y agoShakespeare is read in middle school. It’s also available for purchase in any bookshop along with supplementary material, not to mention various free materials on YouTube, forums, study groups, etc. It’s not some sort of sacred knowledge only available to PhD students.
- lawlessone 1y ago>Shakespeare is read in middle school. Sounds wasteful. The children do not need this to serve my coffee or work in the mines. Business First.
- LudwigNagasena 1y agoYou need a lot of children in the mines to support so many Shakespeare PhDs, so I am not sure you are making a point you are trying to make.
- dctoedt 1y ago> Children in coal towns don't need to know Shakespeare and shouldn't have aspirations. That's a pretty astounding assertion.
- lapcat 1y ago> That's a pretty astounding assertion. Or obvious sarcasm.
- dctoedt 1y agoAh — point taken; I missed the "/s" at the end (it might not have been there when I read the comment).
- lawlessone 1y agoIn your defence i added the /s later, after I realized it there are people that would genuinely hold that opinion.
- lawlessone 1y agoI know, i was trying to bring the idea of business controlling education to a "reductio ad absurdum"
