1	Here's What a Boy-Friendly School Would Look Like In my comment I was refuting his first point (the one about homework). If you weren't able to pick up that I was talking specifically about homework from that, maybe you should check you own arse.	/r/TheRedPill	02/05/14 04:25 AM
3	Here's What a Boy-Friendly School Would Look Like Yes for the love of god don't major in history, humanities, or any of the jobless majors. University is really a waste for most besides STEM focused people. Honestly though, that is the individual's fault. Do some research before spending 40k on a useless education.	/r/TheRedPill	02/05/14 02:53 AM
-2	Here's What a Boy-Friendly School Would Look Like It's besides the point as in I'm not talking about the education system as a whole. That is a huge issue that would take hundreds of pages to do justice. I was speaking about homework vs. no homework. Sure the homework assigned in k-12 grades may not be as good as it could be, but no homework/not count homework is not the answer.	/r/TheRedPill	02/05/14 12:50 AM
5	Here's What a Boy-Friendly School Would Look Like Historically speaking, mid nineteenth century is recent. And yes I agree that science fiction does tackle some very challenge and complex issues. That's why I said it will be used more in the future, when it serves the dual purpose of bringing up those issues and teaching more about our culture.	/r/TheRedPill	02/05/14 12:38 AM
6	Here's What a Boy-Friendly School Would Look Like I'm speaking purely from the University standpoint (and technical majors at that), the k-12 system in America is garbage, but that is beside the point. On the job you will never be required to memorize stokes' theorm, Laplace transforms, or even the quadratic equation. You need to know how to solve complex hierarchical problems, not how to spit up facts. Complex problem solving is not a skill that can effectively be measured on a test. The most beneficial things I've done in school were the home…	/r/TheRedPill	01/05/14 11:40 PM
3	Here's What a Boy-Friendly School Would Look Like I'll shed some light on why we don't see humor or science fiction works in literature classes. Generally literature classes focus on time periods and cultures. ie British lit, American lit, World lit. The books we read from in those classes are the classics from those specific cultures. Classics are generally books that comment on intrinsic human issues (emotions, morals, religion). There are actually some classic humor literature, mostly satirical pieces joking about deeper issues though. Scien…	/r/TheRedPill	01/05/14 11:20 PM
5	Here's What a Boy-Friendly School Would Look Like 150 yrs ago most people did not go to university and the overall level of education/literacy was much lower than it is today. Also universities don't cater to individual learning experiences. You're in a huge class where it is on you to learn the material being lectured. If you have a question, go see the prof or ta (usually ta's) during office hrs or shut up. In engineering majors, tests are often hard enough that the highest grades (A's) are ~75%. There's not as much challenging of ideas becau…	/r/TheRedPill	01/05/14 11:00 PM
16	Here's What a Boy-Friendly School Would Look Like No he's not. Your first point is utterly retarded. Tests and exams are not a complete measurement of understanding. They generally have easier problems, short time limits, and forbid use of outside materials. While homework should have harder problems, reasonable due dates, and allow the use of any outside resource. Homework is a valuable tool in measuring understanding and promoting learning, it's also much closer to what you'll be doing in a job than tests. I personally have learned way more i…	/r/TheRedPill	01/05/14 10:42 PM
