Teachers taught me the importance of voting, which might I say is pretty damn important

That was totally worth 18 years of your life

Seeing as it dictates the rest of my life

yeah kinda. There was other stuff too that also helped.

because it is??
how tf are you gonna learn how to do anything if no one is there to teach you??

Indian guys on YouTube that make tutorials obviously.

yep yep, solves all our problems

Honestly ppl who make tutorials on YouTube are goated, especially with how hard it is to follow along with lectures.

And it doesn’t cost thousands of dollars

The same way we’ve learned things without teachers? We’ve done that for millennia.

have you tried to teach a child anything? its HARD, but if we don't do it, those kids are gonna grow up lwk kinda stupid, so we gotta TEACH them. Like TEACHERS

Clearly a teacher has never taught you how to not fall for obvious bait

I don't think this is bait, I think he's just stupid

Teaching is glorified babysitting. And 95% of the stuff you learn you’ll never use.

Don’t worry, you’ll realize all this in 5 years when you get out in the real world.

that’s quite possibly the worst take I’ve ever heard anyone say ever

I'm not saying everything you learn in school is necessary to live, but you do need to know it if you want to go to college and get the job you want

Not because you genuinely have to, but because that’s the social expectation. And college also isn’t the real world.

But I’m glad you at least agree that teachers are teaching pointles things and are glorified babysitters.

To put it in perspective, imagine a world with no truck drivers. No more logistics or shelves stocked. We can live without teachers, we have for thousands of years. Without logistics, society comes to a halt.

@grok summarize this in 10 words

Tell me you don’t have a good argument without telling me

twas a joke, good sir

also where did I agree that "But I’m glad you at least agree that teachers are teaching pointles things and are glorified babysitters."

To be fair, a third of college graduates work at jobs that don’t require a degree.

And even then, not everyone wants to get into academia.

and that is a valid critique of the American school system, not "yeah so lets just get rid of it"

I can’t tell if you’re being fr or not

he's being so fr 🥀

Then he’s being a dumbass

Ah yes, because being entirely uneducated makes for a well balanced individual

Education doesn’t equal intelligence.

I agree, it doesn't, but that is not what i was saying. Being educated allows you to be a more informed person, and is especially necessary so that you can have many possible paths to go down in life
