I took and got A's in a good number of university math and science classes.

I suppose if you want to spend 2 years learning what you could learn
in 6 weeks, go for it.


Ahh. Your anti-intellectual nonsense

Why is learning things faster anti intellectual?
It seems to me they dumb down schools to the lowest common denominator
and call it being intellectual. How is that right?
It is funny that the only schools who operate that way are the ones
that charge you by the hour so it is not all that amazing.
Schools run by people who have an interest in teaching you quickly, go
much faster with classes 7 or 8 hours a day at a much faster tempo and
if you can't keep up, you get kicked out.
Personally I prefer going fast. Even the IBM schools and the navy
school was not really challenging me. Public school was a joke to me
and my private school was barely holding my attention.
Give me the books and a little nudge in the right direction and I will
ace your test.



Fortunately, for the good of mankind, there are ways to learn other than
by rote.

Who said anything about "rote". The best learning is "experience" and
you do not get that in school . . .

Sure you do. Well, maybe not in the courses you took.

I understand the university will teach you plenty of things with no
practical purpose. It is reflected in the unemployment and
underemployment rate of college graduates. That manifests itself in
the miserable rate that the trillion plus dollars worth of student
loans are being repaid.

Hehehe. Your anti-intellectualism is just hysterical. You think "trade
school" is the answer for everyone. Your sort of rigidity leads to a
dumbed-down nation full of worker drones incapable of abstract thinking
and supportive of, oh, Donald Trump.

We have a whole generation of people thinking abstractly while
sleeping on their parent's couch and watching TV all day because they
can't find a job. (94 million as we speak)
Maybe a little trade education is what we need.
I know you are infatuated with the Europeans, particularly the Germans
and Scandinavians. That is how they do it.

I hear there is really good money in rebuilding tiki bars.

Certainly good money in not paying other people to do all sorts of
things. I am not a one trick pony.

I'm not, either, but I do know when to call in an expert. We recently
had a gas fireplace installed in our master bedroom. I contracted with a
master plumber, a union member, with a license, to handle extending the
gas line and handling the hookups, and we contracted with a fireplace
company to handle the carpentry. The job was inspected by the county. I
suppose I could have saved some bucks by contracting with a tiki bar
builder, but... then I'd be worried about the damned thing exploding
because he would have taken a dangerous shortcut to save $10.00.

You got a union plumber out there to hook up a gas line for $10.

Worse thing we did, and the California college leaders admitted it a couple
years later was to drop industrial arts courses and make all paths College
Prep, and to learn a trade go to Community College or a state university.
One of the major reasons for high drop out rates from primary schools.

There's no question a significant percentage of Trump supporters are
racists.
