When criticizing the education system, it might be wise to actually proofread one’s article.
For instance:
“Much more than we would like to thank, the k-12 experience is a lobotomy [...]”
Should be:
“Much more than we would like to THINK, the K-12 experience is a lobotomy [...]”
Other than that small glitch, I found the article quite spot-on.
Cheers!
RE: “that small glitch”
You can think of that as a Joycean pun, carefully lifted from Finnegans Wake for the amusement of scholars.
Or you can reflect upon the hundreds of people who read over that without seeing it, and congratulate yourself for being much smarter. I personally read over it 20 times.
But I will tell you that the original sin here is dictation software which cleverly makes mistakes that spellcheck won’t pick up. For those who don’t know, I’ll mention that dictation software is a wonderful thing; but the downside is precisely the typo that is also a real word.
