Isn’t this just an extension of the general theme that the education systems are often scams, designed to benefit the incumbents in the faculty and administrative seats, whether public or private, including the mac daddy of educational scams, and making promises to students with no ability to fulfill, the university systems?
Public K-12 schools are filled with teachers without integrity (some teachers may have integrity), that often go into teaching because they not only would not make it in other jobs, but they are often lousy at adulting.
Widespread sexual abuse to the children occurs by both male and female staff at both public and private schools.
Masters degrees and doctoral degrees in education are generally jokes, one might as well have a degree in phrenology or ministry from a scientific rigor perspective.
Universities are filled with faculty and administrators that can barely adult themselves, produce incredibly shoddy research, often can’t teach the courses they are assigned well, and unless they are adjuncts, are often grossly overpaid, according to the value they provide to students.
Occupational training with ridiculous requirements, inappropriate to the occupation in question, is just another way for educational system providers to cash in on those predatory revenue models.
And let’s not forget the textbook scam industry, where crappy new versions of textbooks that are grossly over-priced are forced down students and schools throats, often dated the second the dead trees come off the press.
Most of the social science that comes out of universities fails to replicate when replication attempts are made, and a lot of it is also ridiculous in premise.
Most university research is heavily subsidized or outright paid for by public funds, yet a lot of it is resold by for profit corporations behind paywalls, even though the public paid for the research to begin with.
Of course, research paid for and done in partnership in industry tends to be a lot better, but then there are conflict of interest potentials.
So, yeah, the educational systems, ranging from public K-12 schools, to universities, to occupational training centers, often suffer from predatory revenue issues, corrupt staff and faculty, incompetent staff and faculties, over-priced textbooks, and shoddy outputs.
And a lot of people who are in teacher roles have no business teaching anyone, and can barely adult well themselves, or don’t adult well themselves. Oh yeah, and a lot of teachers are also sex predators, whether male or female teachers, in public K-12, private K-12, universities, etc.
