RE: How The American School System Has Destroyed The Value Of A High School Diploma

in #education7 years ago

That's deep topic lol

I have to say for one i always been very disapointed by education system, i'm mostly a drop out, i dont have even bachelor degree, even though im generally fast learner.

But the more it goes, the more the idealism about school and University being sort of temple of knowledge, to gather people interested in learning and research , has been clearly disapointed lol

Now most of the time when i see people having degree, very few of them are really interested in learning, or solving problem, or making innovation, and the level is all together pretty low.

About a year ago, got back a bit inti this envrionment to deal with blockchain tech, met a guy teacher at polytechnique school, i can say i was quite shocked at how little he was actually into learning, or even when talking about making ui application he kinda looked at me like if uts the thing of the year because probably they make very expansive buisness with people with high degree just building ui apps ..

It become all about making quick money being entitled in the industry elite because they have high degree, and they are the leveling field for the level required to be entitled to make money in skilled industry, and doing the minimum of learing innovatio to kee their head cool, rather than trying to push the limit of the known to actually make valuable progress.

Im not even sure if its the education system that is to be blamed, or more where this slide can be observed more blatantly, where the interest into science and learning as such is fading, and where it become about really something else, which i think is more result of industry hating smart disruptive nerds who create instability in market with new innovation, instead of leaving the good old dumb bush-like oil industrial or bankers making their money with 50 year old technology, instead of really pushing competition that they are sur to loose, in order to keep the economy more stable.

Im always also eager to learn and teach, but i have to say i rarely met people with high degree who actually like to learn and research, more having diploma to have predictible incomes based on salary grid based on degree and years of experience, no matter what their technical level actually is.

The result of this can be seen on many levels now, with lack of innovation, accumulation of debt, and things becoming more & more expansive for less and less quality in the end.

Not sure how thats going to end, but its in big part why i hav lot of hope with blockchain tech as they can let a new market o innovation to take place outsidr of the Mainstream industry and education system, which is clearly falling appart.

Sort:  

Most ico and coin trading is largely bs anyway, if coin are only there to be exchanged with each other for short term trading profit the interest is very limited lol

I quite agree with china on this one lol this whole coin trading thing has very little fundation in anything, and quite waste of money and time if you ask me lol

Still have to see a blockchain project that can be actually connected to real economy and actually do something useful for everyday economy, other than trading them for each other like pokemon following trading chart curves.
