in all seriousness I hate how the educational institution seems to instill this idea that learning is hard/worthless/unable to happen outside of said institution. the primary goal of education should be to equip people with the skills they need to continue learning (about LOTS of different things, which is the other thing The Teacher Man fails at) outside of school. since very few people remain in school forever. for all its problems it's something I think k-12 is at least working on... post-secondary has yet to give a shit, tho. :(
