Aureliano: “That’s not how it works. If that were really the case, there would be little reason even to provide courses. After all, if smart kids think on their own, independent of course curriculum, what’s the point of teaching a course?”
You’re just a cynical idiot. Sure, there are plenty of kids who are ambitious enough to study on their own, but why do an independent biology study that has no direction or guidance, when I could take that same biology course with an actual biologist who has a career of research under his belt? Don’t you think I’d have a better learning experience taking a guided biology course rather than just figuring it out on my own? Do you really not understand the value of having curriculum-based, professor-led college courses? Do you even think before you write this crap?
“Curriculum matters. It is why the ditzy liberal gals who dominate the modern university use it to steer their students into ‘correct’ modes of thinking.”
Again, if your kid is stupid enough to believe everything he’s taught, then you obviously raised a stupid kid.
And if you really think “ditzy liberal gals” are the chief obstruction to getting a good education, then you’re deluded and obviously not serious about education.
“Oh no, watch out for those evil liberal ditzy girls! They’re gonna make you believe liberal stuff! You can’t stop them! They’re just so cute and urban, and they wear these cute glasses when they study Marx! There’s no escape! They’ll make you a Socialist!!
