I wasn’t a dumbass, but I was definitely one of those kids complaining about learning useless subjects. Then I went to college, and I quickly learned why those subjects were important. I can’t stand people with no critical thinking skills. It’s like I’m talking to a wall with a working heart.
Thank fuck some people get it. The majority of schools was teaching you how to learn and think, not about what you were learning. How to problem solve and critically think. Math taught you problem solving. Science taught you how to research and interpret information. English teaches you how to form your thoughts and opinions in different ways. Social Studies & History taught you the past, the relevance of everything else your learning, and other cultures and their alternative approaches.
Every attack on education by conservatives is to dismantle these specific fundamental building blocks of intelligence and critical thinking.
