It’d be interesting if instead of high school reunions, adults were forced to go back to school for 12 days every ten years to repeat each grade for a day to refresh on forgotten information.

How about no

If school weren’t hell in every way and also actually taught important stuff that’d be cool but otherwise no absolutely not

Of course the original post isn’t /wrong/ it would be interesting, but still. Please no.

Becoming increasingly frustrated with the entire concept of “weed-out” classes at an undergraduate academic level.

IF you have a deliberately engineered a class that has a pass rate of less than 40%, you are a bad teacher! That is UNCONSICIONABLE in a world where a single college course can easily cost over $1000 plus books and materials! These are undergrads! Their ability to continue to attend school and get out with a Bachelor’s in ANYTHING is probably reliant on scholarships and grants and loans, and you are PROUD of designing a money-pit deliberately set up to make them fail?? Absolutely disgusting tbh

why is academia,,,,, like that

hot take: if the only people who can understand your writing are a select few pretentious jerkoffs like yourself, maybe the problem isn’t that you’re just too fucking smart to communicate to the uneducated masses. maybe you’re like. a bad writer lol

like uhhh not be controversial but if the point of academic writing is to share information and 75% of your readers have no fucking clue what you’re saying around that thesaurus you’re deepthroating then uhhh maybe you’re a shit academic and also a lot less intelligent than you think you are. just a concept
