Back To School.  “Credentialists” Versus “Human Capitalists”: STEM Classes – Arts & Crafts Classes – Education Classes (August 21, 2023)

. . .

K         “Most of the Arts & Crafts programs d/b/a Arts & Sciences at the most profitable universities are simply certifying that its graduates are obedient to and compliant with the Dominant Narrative.”

J          “That is what the System wants and that is what the System produces and that is what the System gets.  Yet some elements of the Dominant Narrative are dominant for a sound reason.”

. . .   

K          “Most STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs do create some human capital.  Arts & Crafts Schools provide a mix of some useful skills along with the certificate of conforming behavior.  The Arts & Sciences Schools certify that the individual is properly potty trained.”

. . .

J          “Most education degrees could be distilled into four fundamental classes rather than slow rolled over four years.  Education Schools leave their graduates with more student debt in a world that underpays teachers.  How about a three year program and thirty percent increase in pay?”
