Quote:
Do you not think that maybe, just maybe, learning is valuable for something other than your career? Also, "learning" is more than just the facts of learning, it is the process of learning, which is important to everyone.
Why must people be so career-focused at such a young age? Asking a 16 year old boy to take classes with an eye towards what "career" he wants for the rest of his life is an exercise in futility. Any younger and it becomes sheer stupidity. Learn for learning's sake while you're young, and learn for a career when you're an adult.
| I never said that they shouldn't learn in all subjects, just that the main reason they do is for college. But most kids have some idea of what subjects thay'll absolutely never go into. Forcing them to get an edge for college through service is no different to me than forcing them to get an edge for college through academics.
“Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.”
