i feel like the educational system in the US is tainted by capitalism and is more or less just a factory for producing dehumanized worker bees for our capitalist hellscape

the revolution should not omit colleges and universities. really, i feel like they should be the first things that are looked at and completely redone.

how in the fuck does it make sense to run a School like a corporation??? yet, that's pretty much the way that things are done. for colleges/universities it's about that $$$

@scarly agreed. And a lot of it has to do with the funding models for universities. They have to perform in some way to get the funding they need. And the way they perform to get the funding is by presenting numbers that look good, so they end up with "subjective" evaluations of learning that may not be practical or even reflect reality for the students.

@scarly @Dingy_Rat And that’s not just in how they go about the education part of the mission. It’s an open secret that a faculty member can be an awful educator and still scale the tenure ladder, but if they can’t attract grant funding for their research, they’re not going to last long.
