not everyone needs to go to college. Someone needs to loIknow how to repair an AC
I never said anything about college. I said stop disparaging knowledge and belittling intelligence.
Stop justifying your kid being shiit-heel in class which ruins the education of others. Encourage them to learn and emphasize the value of becoming more adept at the tangential disciplines which will help them be better at their craft, even if they’re not interested in learning quantum physics or calculus.
Maybe learning the tangentials to managing inventories, supply chains, and communicating with subordinates and customers will help them own their own successful plumbing business someday. Or maybe they could learn about marketing and technology fundamentals to more effectively advertise their services and be more competitive in their regions.
Also, stop discouraging them from learning the important historical, civics, and technology / science concepts that society would benefit from them knowing. There’s no excuse for kids being allowed to disregard social studies classes.
The amount of American adults being lured into faux science or falsified / misconstrued historical narratives these days because of their ignorance and lack of comprehension of good research practices is sickening. If these people are going to vote they need to be able to do so more intelligently than they have been to date.
