    Because for some reason our schools are run like businesses instead of government institutions. Sure, let any random goober decide what can and can’t be taught. Great idea. Let’s also charge money to make society more educated, and then wonder why society chooses to be stupid. Honestly as somebody who goes to college, much of the info can be found on google anyways (Tech professors even told me to just do pluralsight tutorials instead of their own lessons). Unless you’re getting hands-on training, the no-child left behind style of teaching is a complete joke. Just quiz after quiz, forget it all, nab degree and run into the brick wall of job hunting.

      Can confirm that most of what I do on a daily basis I learned on Pluralsight.

      Hard to say whether I would have been able to get as much out of Pluralsight without a college education though.
