Me at 18 only cared about technology. I was "forced" to take an arts class, I think it was a world music class, I guess I was fun, but I couldn't tell you a thing I learned in those classes. Between that class and western history were my only A+ of my college career XD

That’s hilarious,

We were required to take an arts class too, it was about writing music and the final assignment was that we had to submit an original composition. Here’s mine if you want to listen.

And he can make music too! Wow that's wayyy more than we were capable of doing.

Stop, you’re making me blush.

In the US, public schools are so mind numbing that it isn't a mystery why so many college students are uninspiring. They were first uninspired and broken down by the state to meet the level of the lowest common denominator. Everything is for a corporate testing company.

Personally was never in "public" schooling but it still guided all of our courses, but yeah it's a machine. No wonder I rebelled so hard. Even the college I went to has something over 50% of graduates get federal government (or gov contractor) jobs. I think everyone I know and their families from school is government employed.

It certainly creates a massive voting block.

The standard for quality must never be lowered to accommodate The lowest denominator.

It should be about pushing whoever can be pushed towards excellence.
