@prettygood It's funny and kind of sad that what you're describing is the basic purpose of education.
Fact is that "education" is only rarely education. Most "teachers" are not teachers and never have been.

@prettygood I don't even mean this in a 'we need to let kids learn more freely and explore' way, because actually I think one of the biggest issues is that kids are allowed to pass through classes with good grades without learning anything. Good teachers don't set low expectations, but they do patiently explain anything you don't know without judgement.

@yakmacker@society.kalli.st @prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer lots of college requirements are very patchwork. I remember entering machine learning class very rusty on my calf and linear algebra and feeling very embarrassed and afraid to let the teacher know so I just l spent a lot of time reading textbooks and asking llms.
