[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't students study and get evaluated "properly"? Why is it called "grind"? It is called learning and evaluating. Not everyone deserves a trophy. Studying or get out of the school to do something more meaningful to your life.[/quote] Because it’s an unmanageable and unrealistic amount of work, which isn’t the same thing as “learning properly”. [/quote] But that's the expectation from their future employers[/quote] That's the part that I find most perplexing: these STEM school grind kids are obviously super smart and motivated, then they go into the workforce and become uninspired 23 year old worker bees. I know some became the founder of Duolingo (our CMU tour guide kept talking about him), but 99% don't. [/quote]
