‘What is your point?’
his point seems rather obvious, does it not...? that schools hamstring students by forcing everyone too far into into a common curriculum, with no thought given to individual abilities (or lack of same)...
by way of explanation I use the course that caused me to fantasize about offing myself to get my father off my back about bad report cards: Plane Geometry...in what sane world does someone not in a hard science career path need to master the arcana of Euclidian theorems, corollaries and proofs...? and yet, Plane Geometry was a required course in a college prep curriculum...
‘but it teaches you to think,’ you say; true enough, but so did every other course I took, including those I found conducive to my abilities, so what special learning was I afforded by being forced to endure such technical minutiae to the point of failure...?
“his point seems rather obvious, does it not...?”
No. That is why I asked.
