    They’re both correct, though just saying “tech” is pretty vague when he means the specific technology and usage of it. Plenty of 80s and 90s kids had computers in the classroom and it didn’t fuck us up. I’m guessing without actually looking into it that when he says tech he means education software which probably is garbage and actively harmful.

      It’s great that I’m in a place willing to argue minutae of old comments.

      So, I think as far as they’re saying that the US Education system sucks, they are correct; but as far as saying it sucks UNIQUELY or that this article/subject is only about the US, they are wrong.

      I’m inclined to think in the context of the conversation they are mostly wrong, but there is something to agree with there, and since the vote button is really just the agree button, it makes sense.

      Edit: Oh, no, a downvote! I must have said something that did not contribute to the conversation! Please help me, I thought I was sharing my perspective, but I must have done so in a way that did not contribute to the conversation! I AM SO CONFUSED RIGHT NOW

      Edit: Oh, I’m sorry. You are correct! You are so very right! You are a light of knowledge that shines in the darkness of my own ignorance! I am forever grateful for this marvelous insight you have into not only this conversation but into human nature in it’s entirety, and perhaps even into the nature of God! My only regret in life is that I have but two orifices to pleasure you with sexually!

      Is that more contributory to the conversation?
