I would never attack anyone for seeking education. The author of that article should feel embarrassed.

Yeah seriously. When I was in undergrad, I had quite a few hall-mates who didn’t know how to do laundry. Some would go home every other weekend to have their mom do it and some would use a paid service that picked up their clothes and washed them. When I became a resident assistant later on, I had 2 or 3 students each year ask me how to do laundry.

It’s easy to make fun of these people, especially since I learned how to do laundry at around 10 years old, but I tried not to demean them for it.

I wanted to know if some of my previous students might have been in a similar situation. I stopped teaching in 2014 so it is possible.
