liberal education

Taking classes that you will never need in life, taught by professors who think that their class is ALL you need in life.

I'm going to be a lawyer, but my Geology 101 professor's syllabus makes me believe he is under the impression we are all going to be rock scientists. Liberal education at its finest.

I staggered towards the oasis in the desert, but it turned out to be an education, and i died of thirst.

Hyper-educated moron

A hyper-educated moron is someone who has impressive credentials, yet lacks the basic knowledge and common sense of how the real world actually functions and operates because they never had a job in the private sector. These people are most often found in Ivy league schools, hidden deep in their offices and unaware of the surrounding outside world.

Mike: Professor Jones wants to teach 3 liberal arts classes a day and wants nothing less than $100,000/year with full, life-time benefits.

Eric: Isn't that what a physician is normally paid?

Mike: Yup.

Eric: What a hyper-educated moron...

Special Education

A burning hell-hole that I managed to escape from in 2018. let me tell you something from my experience, Special Education treats you like you are a fucking retard or something like that. It's not all kittens and rainbows. Like; they gave me kindergarten-level math that I could figure out at this age in mere seconds.

Special Education was NOT fun.

physical education

A subject that is forced upon students in schools that causes misery and pain to those who do not like sport and would prefer not to participate.

higher education

A consumer product where money is charged to provide the same information you received for free in grades K-12 but just in more convoluted terms.

Wow, this higher education is both expensive and somewhat familiar.

Educatocracy

A type of meritocracy existing in post industrial nations with a highly educated population wherein degree obtainment is the only form of merit and degree inflation is rampant.

At the turn of the 21st century, the United States was surely becoming an Educatocracy.
