Schools are designed to accommodate the lowest common denominator -- the kids who are utterly incapable for one reason or another of learning on their own.
School is a waste of time for anyone who can read chapter books by 2nd grade.
I got into college thinking "finally I get to be challenged." Instead the class I most cared about was 3/4ths nurses taking it as an elective then whining that the material was too difficult for them.
Taught college for a while. Nursing students were easily the whiniest. I think it's bc they know they aren't smart enough to be doctors, nor are their classes as difficult as doctors' classes, yet they struggle so much with them anyway.
At the same time, nurses are the sergeants with boots on the ground while doctors are the asshole bluebloods.
The courses in college that I liked most were the courses where the professor would lecture for an hour about something really interesting. New professors can't do that because they're stupid, so they assign "group projects" and you end up sitting there listening to 4 retards ramble about things they don't understand. Those classes are a huge waste of time and literally remember nothing from them.
All that said, the education that has stuck with me over the years didn't come from college. It was being taught to read and write by my mother and to think by my father.
Everything else that was worth knowing I learned through my own study.

I tend to agree.
