High school doesn't teach as much as it used to, I want it back up to the level it was at. I tutored calculus in college to freshmen who didn't really grasp algebra.
And I think it's because "If they're serious about education, they'll pay for a degree". Tech jobs often don't care what college degree you got, as long as you have one, because it's mostly general education that belongs in high school. I want it moved back to high school where it used to be, where everyone can get it for free.
College is fundamentally different, it's a place where you pay for a specific degree in a certain subject. I resent being forced to spend pay for two years of general electives. Then in my junior year the classes *suddenly* got theoretical, like college is supposed to be. That's no good for anyone.
I also resent the attitude that community college is, (like a high school degree), something people settle for. Technical degrees are fundamentally more useful, they're applied. But nooooo, every kid has to go to 4-year college without understanding why. Yeah they get theoretical knowledge - in a degree they chose before they could drink!
Which is ironic since I saw so many aimless college students get drunk constantly because they weren't spending their own money, and had no idea why they were there. It's a massive tragic waste based on what the older generations think is best.
