The test of any educative facility/course/whatever is whether it lets its graduates do what they took the course to do. If all they want is a "piece of paper", then they should study for a test. But if you seek real competence, in whatever area, then you need to study towards that competence.Quote:

Wrong.
Creative "shit" is going to be more useful than math or science? Wrong again.
If more people had an undertanding of mathematics, we wouldn't have such a problem with idiotic drones who are so easily manipulated into higher taxes and not understanding social security or the real effect of a "minimum wage."
Nor would he have so many morons who think buying lottery tickets is an investment in their retirement. You know what they say, lotteries are a tax on stupidity.
