Personally, I think the school system I came from, where nobody cares is in bigger trouble than the system where cheating is endemic.
- JulianMorrison 13y agoThey still don't care about school. They care about not being weeded from the pile of resumes because they didn't have "the right grade" - which they got by a pantomime that superficially resembled school. As a system it's highly optimized to select candidates who'll "go along to get along".
- lsc 13y ago>As a system it's highly optimized to select candidates who'll "go along to get along". Yeah, but isn't that a big part of what school teaches, though? It's an important skill, too. If you want to get a good grade on that paper, you've gotta read the professor and figure out what they are expecting, and give it to them. That's an important skill. I mean, what school doesn't teach is that you can also choose who you want to please; different people want different things, so if you want to be one way, well, you just find a boss/partner/whatever that wants you to do the things you want to do. school doesn't cover that.
