Educational Mercantilism 

The concept that there is a finite amount of education in a given environment, so that there is a benefit to depriving others of a quality education in order to increase the benefits to themselves.
The reason why there is little to no effort to improve failing public school systems is because those in power believe in Educational Mercantilism, and having the best education for their child means that education needs to be better than those of others.

Educational perversion 

This is when your teacher says the course is "History of the 20th century" on the syllabus, and then proceeds to teach you all about him or herself.
No, the lives of teachers may in fact be interesting, but anecdotes from the bedroom ought to be left in the bedroom, thanks.
Mr. Worguheirvhehgurheiuhrvnvevib: Okay, class, today we will discuss, analyze and evaluate the significance of totalitarianism.
The "Keener" Student: Oh! I have already done the readings! I --
Mr. W cutting off his student: I remember last night with my date. God, she was a sexxxy beast. We made glorious, crazy monkey sex all night long. I'd go into further details if you were a little older, but I have a class to teach.
Confused Student: Um, Sir? What about totali--
Mr. W cutting off his student for a second time: Oh, alright, if you INSIST! So...
**Supplemental note by student afterwards: He really knows how to please a woman, but it has nothing to do with the rise of totalitarian states. That was a painful class of educational perversion.

educational arrogance 

The concept explaining the phenomenon when one is under the belief that because they have a higher degree(s), that their life holds more significance than someone with fewer or no higher degree(s). Also evident when a person frequently drops this information into casual conversation multiple times in a shameless bid for attention.
The moment you believe you are better than someone because you have a college degree, you are demonstarting educational arrogance, and therefore, are an asshat.

Asshat: Polish this turd, willya Judy, ya know I have two Master’s degrees..

Asshat: Ya know I have two Master’s degrees so I don’t understand why I have to be here.
