The main problem is that students in the US are insanely busy. The curriculum is substandard no matter where you go. In the future, I’m hoping to see more individual studying encouraged by the school. It’s a good skill to pick up, esp considering skills might age faster.
Classes are a waste of time, out of the 1.5 hrs, there’s maybe 20 minutes of content.
Teachers tend to be full of themselves and incompetent.
Professors are busy with research, grants etc. curricula tends to be out of date.
God when I think about the shit I could have done in the 16 years that I spent in school I legit want to puke.
But the worst people are the administrators. I’m yet to see a single school administrator make a rational decision. This is particularly apparent in the responses to school shootings. Yeah, make it more like prisons, thats are gonna help. Also the prevalence of women in school administration is not good for the male school population, they make decisions that tend to ignore certain gender differences.
Don’t even get me started on the idiocy that is school athletics.
Don't get into the habit of looking for things to blame. The internet will keep you well fed. Finding things to blame, obscures clear thought and expression of your underlying needs. Find those needs and keep focus on them without blaming anyone. It's a much healthier route to connecting with people and getting those needs met.
In my experience, teachers are competent. It's just that their main competence is teaching those who are unmotivated and unwilling to learn, so those who are willing mostly get neglected. It makes perfect sense if you think about it.
Do you see the contradiction in saying that school was easy and pointless, and simultaneously saying it kept you from doing things? It sorta has to be one or the other.
you probably meant it as
"because most administrative staff are female, male interests are underrepresented at the highest level"
I cant really argue with it because i've honestly no idea which male interests could possibly fall short in the context of a school, but anyway.
your phrasing of the initial statements comes across as sexism, because it sounds more like: "only males can represent all students interests"
you probably didn't mean it like that, but that what it sounds like, tbh
So you added to the demand for this otherwise mediocre product (education), and then wonder why the product quality isn't better? I think it is just supply-demand economics.
