I can attest schools are dumbing everything down. I have gone to school in 3 decades 00s, 10s, and now 20s.
I graduated past the half way mark of the 00s, and high school math and English and pretty much everything else was pretty though for me.
Then I ended up going to college a few years later in 09-10, and noticed it was easier than high school. I somehow became an A student without trying as hard.
Then I dropped out in 11, and went back again near the end of the decade. I literally got an Associates with a 4.0 without ever doing assigned reading or studying, or literally trying at all (with the exception of my language class, which have all been Japanese who aren’t cucked).
The homework now overwhelming amounts to responding to articles and providing your personal opinion. Doesn’t matter the class. You get full points for saying anything. I dont read anything though. I skim paragraphs in the middle and take out keywords and vomit them into sentences. Partly because the teachers give no incentive to care. Their feedback is useless. Their teaching is useless. I dont want to waste the energy anymore.
I recall one time my teacher gave me a “Great response very thorough!” Comment and I didn’t even skim the article that time. I forgot about the assignment 5 minutes before it was due, and literally just made shit up. I laughed a while after getting 100% on it.
A final paper I had to do for one class this last semester was supposed to be 10 pages. I only did 6, didn’t even ducking finish the argument. I already passed the class at that point so I said fuck it. The last 2 terms I’ve been extra IDGAF. Still got 80% with 6/10 pages! I didn’t even do good research! I googled some news articles lol that said what I needed it to say to make the paper easier to write. Total bullshit research was rewarded with 80%. I got an A in the class.
I’m so close to a bachelors but I am done. So done. I am going to rejoin the work force, and not use my own savings or loans anymore. I might still take 1 class a term online or something just so I can eventually get my bachelors. But I’ll only pay out of my monthly expenses. I really set my life back financially and socially returning to school and regret every ducking moment of it.
