Topic	Unpopular opinion: the world would be a more professional and better place if...

It does not surprise me though that somebody who overvalued GPA this much would look at all manual labor or trade jobs with disdain. Or even a low level job. It's a skilled trade. Otherwise the topic is probably intended as a joke. _AdjI_ posted... From a corporate perspective, self-checkouts are preferable not because they're more effective than cashiers, but because they cost less thanks to not needing to do silly things like eat or pay rent. Which is the same thing as being more effective. kangolcone posted... Imagine the crunch that would happen in the medical field. Theres already a crushing shortage of pediatricians in rural areas. Now we would just have less pediatricians. So the world would be a more professional and better place if we had more children who were unable to receive adequate medical care? Explain how this is better exactly? And you can blame a large part of that on the US's rigorous standards where, ironically enough, the shortfall is often covered by medical professionals from nations with less rigorous standards kangolcone posted... Ok lets assume that 90% of people dont get 4.0. Who replaces all the teachers who no longer have degrees? Are we only keeping the teachers who got 4.0s in college and just ballooning a high school class to 100-120 children. Again, the standards would be lowered (or they'd add new grades to turn 4.0 into a minimum). SunWuKung420 posted... _AdjI_ posted... By lowering educational standards, mostly. Go back to the days where high school was the minimum expected education for most jobs. That's a thing. Plenty of super smart people that not want to do homework for a gpa. Why are we punishing people who don't need to do homework and not supporting them in their endeavors instead of bogging them down? "Smart" people who aren't willing to work hard don't exactly bring much value to the table. And very few people want to do homework. More importantly, most people who make excuses for a low GPA are idiots who only think they're intelligent. Because they never put the effort in to really test themselves, they can cling to that illusion. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:914352683] in Unpopular ...
