I swear public education today is a big fucking joke... my favorite classes in highschool were geometry, physics, and computer programming -- because I had GOOD teachers that encouraged us to solve problems without giving us a formula... It's called using your fucking brain... then I get to college and it just got retarded... problem solving was not even an issue -- it was all memorization, formulas, and whoever could regurgitate the shit the fastest... I think part of the problem is these fucking parents demanding A's for their kids... because if mommy and daddy spend $1000's for their retarded children to get a diploma, real intelligence is no longer an issue... it's about money and following a formula to get that diploma... A real creative person that likes to invent things I think is better off in an sculpture program taking technical classes on the side as electives in some kind of interdisciplinary program... that way you get "hands on" experience with real tools so you can build your ideas... It's funny at my school there was a race between engineers and art students to build some kind of boat -- the art students boats won consistently -- engineers shit mostly sank -- it's because engineers these days at universities don't build anything... with the exception of military weapons and some race-car shit -- but usually those are not part of the curriculum... and you're basically like an employee following guidelines from your superiors... hehe...
