“Free Hat”:
If you want to talk about “stupid,” look no further than your own statement:
“If you raised your kid to be an independent, critical thinkier he’ll have the common sense to be critical of what he’s being taught.”
Even 30-50 years ago, when 18-year-olds were comparatively well-prepared and mature, college was still considered necessary (for a more reasonable number of them) to achieve the goal of them becoming critical “thinkiers.”
You’re snarkily laying at the feet of other people the job that the university is supposed to do, and still pretends to do, yet doesn’t do.
Hurling insults at people who’ve had several lifetimes of experience with higher education won’t change the fact that you don’t know what you’re talking about.
