wow…im amazed
really amazing how some school systems work…anyway if i could say something i always say
“you never acomplish a thing looking at us as a group but only as many diffrent people with diffrent needs and wants”
and yet we live in a world were we are rememberd as a number…and a single statistic…and nothing more
well thats enough philsosaphy for today!
Hell fucking yeah, bullshit prices for these textbooks we never read.
dang….made me think
We should just get rid of our existing education system all together.

I got more personalized attention in a free public high school than I ever got for 40,000 a year at UVM.
Wow… very eye opening… and well made. Good job class!!!
A shame. I wonder wether poorer countries will ever get to the technological benefits we have. (Just imagine, Ulanbatar and computer centrales.)
Realistic work, great message, thanks…
The paradigm is broken. It has been broken for a long time. Students need to demand that the establishment change WHAT is taught and the methods used to convey the information. I learn more about subjects by using ALL resources not just mindless lectures in a big room. QUESTION EVERYTHING.
Great message!!!
people are going to college that shouldn’t be going to college…you don’t read the textbook because you don’t care enough about the subject material…care….care enough to sit in front of the class…care enough to pay attention…don’t blame the institution blame yourself
I learned to manipulate the system more then I learned anything in actuality. But still, as much as institutions are responsible for becoming moving and changing beings we are as well.
If people refuse to pay so much for college, the private institutions will crumble.
I go to a college where generally the professors make the textbook optional or cheap or make their own booklets.
I can thrive in a lecture class because I raise my hand and ask questions. I talk to the professors after class and outside of class. I make my presence known, and my lecture teachers always know me by name that way. Good for resumes.
And that skill works for real life too. Be heard. Don’t just blend in.
I read my text books, but that is because I never showed up to class, except to take tests. I wish I owed only $20k.
However, I agree with Jason. I couldn’t believe the people that were in college. Most didn’t care and were there, because they thought they had to be. I, on the other hand, felt lucky that I was able to attend. I enjoyed going to school. I enjoyed what I was learning. And I guess that is why, nine years after my first day of college, I am still going.
Very poignant.. you’d think they *deliberately* make their whole system look shallow..! Time for the kiddies to break out of their Alice in Wonderland trance about authority, I guess, and start their own racket, because that’s what’s really being taught: Society is a shell game, better make the most of it while there are fools left to fund the collective gravy train. ( The existentially aware will not find this too shocking. )
Jobs and problems are created by anti-intellectuals who hate academics. Of course an academic education can’t help us! It’s a completely anti-democratic system. It’s plutocratic.
Unfortunately, schools haven’t adapted their curricula because: 1. The plutocracy doesn’t want them to; 2. Their ill-equipped to; 3. They wouldn’t even want to, because they have old-fashioned liberal arts values, values that would be essential for a thriving democracy if we actually had one.
Many educators, I believe are fighting the good fight, and thank God for it.
P.S. Yes, I know it’s “they’re” rather than “their.”
that chalk baord is hard to read.
