A recent conversation with a college student sparked these thoughts.
Have you ever wondered how many of the classes that you took in school had the main benefit of teaching you to:
- Absorb vast amounts of boring material?
- Spot the professor's biases so you could accordingly shape your answers?
- Sift through dreck in order to find things of substance?
- Juggle your schedule to meet arbitrary deadlines?
- Conduct team exercises in which some team members rode on the backs of others?
- Forget previous material in order to make room for new?
Perhaps those classes weren't a complete waste of time.
