Schools are for fish, to get them to go with the group.
Yep, you are right because prior to education for the masses the only schooling that the general Christian population got was in
sunday school. I guess that explains why scientists have such a difficult time. Thanks for the clarification.
I once found a course in graduate school that I found useful. I dropped it immediately, although I went to all the classes and took the exams. By cutting out the grades and credit, and spending a lot of time with my major professor, I managed to actually learn something there without losing my mind.
So, the grades and credit are the "...very cruel and dirty trick..."?? I don't think so. Basically, you employed a common psychological technique to de-stress a situation by deluding yourself into thinking the class "didn't matter".
