Centralized Online Education is Bullshit

October 22nd, 2003 · 6 Comments · 9to5

I’m in a class where my grade is heavily dependent on my group’s performance in an online game. More specifically, my grade is dependant on our simulated stock price in said game. You can bumble your way through it and have a pretty good chance of failing. It takes quite a bit of work and analysis to actually do well.

My team has spent an alarming amount of time putting together a strategy to do well in this game. After four weeks of taking well-planned financial hits, we are ready to really kick its ass. Or so we thought. As it turns out, some sort of packet error or other unnoticed glitch has made it impossible for us to end up with a decent stock price. To wit, we were set to release a new product in a simulated market, and the system failed to recognize our decisions to build the plant. Therefore, we have spent lots of money on developing a good product and precisely planning its release, but now we can’t sell it next year because we can’t build it. If we build the plant now, we will not only be further in the hole, but our product will need to be redeveloped. We’ll be behind. Way behind.

I am furious. And on top of it all, I have a 4-page paper due tomorrow.

  • the teachers pet money for retirement

    Education is a long drawn out affair that gives professors a guaranteed retirement plan at the expense of “childrens ” pocket money.
    Its not what you learn or accomplish but rather who you know! In order to get a head you have to give a head and you’ll be vice chancellor of Oxford.
    Many kids out there owe lots of money because of the education that takes 6 years to learn and write and then a further 6 years to “piss” in someones pocket to get a head. After this if you’ve crawled like a snail, you get an injection in Looney-versity. Here you become challenged and ripped off until you almost loose your marbles in debt and who’s the smarter ape. This debt is then bingo payback time so that by now you have learnt the societies secret of screwing to make ends meet.

    After being screwed both mentally and financialy your innitiated into the category of PHD only to find your now unemployed and gained a reputation of professional delinquent extinguished by cut-back industry syndrome.

    Now your survival skills kick in and your back to square one having to fight your way back to get a head job.

    Your by now looking for alternatives that are sub zero standard in some “sweat box” factory where all the in turn doctors are dissecting machinery that makes them feel their use with autoanatomy.

    Where the hell has all this time gone? Where’s all the money gone? We’ll of course you’ve just provided some “grand pubah” with 15 years of your life and money that you still own to a government that has family interests at stake. You on the other hand have learnt how to be a student of token for something you could have achieved at year 6 and the bullshit goes on and on as new inmates get screwed to kingdom come!

    Education is fuckin bullshit!
    Professors are yo yo’s sucking the living daylight’s out of you your parents and maybe even your grandparents.
    The government are so educated that they,ve become retards with tape heads for voice-boxes! Ask anyone what do you use algeBRA for all all the other crap in ordinary daily life. It takes 2 years to study a simple weed before you learn the very simple art of grafting a branch to the tree of knowledge. It take years to perfect how to use a screwdriver to scew students but the cash is stripped jack naked! Poor jack his been stripped and so has everybody else. The cycle continues and the budding inmates wait to be “grafted” into the initiation ceremony of education.
    Sixty years have now elapsed and your looking back. Gee i’m glad I didnt become a doctor!
