Just because every time a post about education comes up, there are always 2 very opposing viewpoints. So are schools..
- Capitalistic indoctrination centers- the fact that students are in school 8 hours a day 5 days a week is just preparing them for corporate slavery
Or - Whatever we don’t know about life by the time we are 30 is the fault of the education system because they didn’t have a class devoted to it in high school?
I’m really not a troll here, just a former teacher who is really confused by the contradictory stances on education on this sub (and Reddit as a whole I guess). Either students are in school way too long just to condition them, or there are at least a dozen extra courses they should be taking but aren’t.
