A rant on education
Jun. 3rd, 2004 02:34 pmThis is so, so true, and it's so, so fucked.
So while I'm on the subject...
It chaps my ass that execs at companies that make big popular bullshit products--just stuff that people want to buy because it's amusing or whatever, not stuff that does a damn thing to make the world better, like, say, Gameboys, or Hollywood blockbusters, or The Next Big Masturbatory Dot-Com Thing--pull down huge amounts of money while the people who are out there educating our society's children (or, hell, the adults who got churned through our broken school system and got spat out functionally illiterate, or who have just gotten to this country and need to learn English so they can, you know, get a job, feed their kids, that kind of useless nonsense) get paid shit-all.
So I guess that's my rant. Yeah.
Go me.
