Education Sucks

Without going into too much detail, I think I am now officially jaded to the whole of education. My thesis is not going to be good. Well, I mean, it'll be well written, but after fighting and fighting to get it to be what I want, I am just giving up. My advisor wants it to be something different (by that I mean, something dumb). It will be worthy of a 2 page article in the Phi Delta Kappan with lots of pictures of flowers and A+ stickers in the background.

My apologies to those of you who think that the Phi Delta Kappan is hard, analytical, relevant material.

But I have decided that (for my own sake and sanity) I must focus on the silver lining. This is the reason I want to go into educational reform. I have yet to have seen a teacher who could teach education. I have had one who came close. That's it.

So while I will not let any of you read my thesis and while I'll probably be a little ashamed of it, it'll be done and it (or the degree itself, at least) will equip me to change things... in about two decades.
