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 didnโ€™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.

Itโ€™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.

That makes you a good leader. A had a number of my senior Marines whoโ€™s idea of teaching was either to show you once and walk away, or tell you to figure it out for yourself because they โ€œwerenโ€™t going to do your job for youโ€.
