"Our credentialing function is beginning to crowd out our educational function. Students win admission to these places by converting their teenage years — or their parents converting their teenage years — into a stress-strewn gauntlet of meritocratic striving."
More than a century ago, the vicious antisemite and general waste of breath Henry Adams wrote with indignation of a fellow Harvard who was supposed to have said, "the degree of Harvard College is worth money to me in Chicago." Since when is meritocratic striving anything new? As to the terrible stress imposed on most of the lying, drunken, bullying thieving little bourgeois asswipes--including more than one actual rapist and murderer such as the highly characteristic George Huguely, a typical University of Virginia fraternity boy who went a little too far and got caught--fugeddaboutit. The little bastards, coddled like china dolls all their worthless lives, are forever crying about the tough time they're having. Screw them and spare us this phony concern trolling. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
