So you're saying the cure for bootlicking is becoming a teacher's pet? Isn't that just bootlicking with extra steps?
Teachers pet? What is this, high school?
If you think this sort of behavior stops when you get to college, I got news for you...
I've been a TA, I have personally witnessed it.
Im saying the cure for being a loser is to stop sluffing class, and maybe your grades will improve
No thanks. Nobody has ever become great from attending class.
Pfftt, ok bud. "Im not anti science! But no one ever became great by learning"
What a self own
What if I told you you don't need to go to class to learn?
What if I told you that the vast majority of real science actually does require you to go to class to learn?
I would say you're a bootlicking teacher's pet.
Licking what boot? The boot of the concept of learning things other people know?
Let me guess. You think vaccines cause autism, right? Because mommy told you otherwise, and mommy scary?
You can learn that from books, too. Or watching YouTube. Plenty of ways to learn that don't require a classroom setting.
Not as a rule, no. But I'm honestly very uninformed about this topic and currently don't have a reason to change that.
Let me guess, you enjoy making wild assumptions about people based on minimal evidence and then have imaginary arguments in your head with them which you always win.
LMAO okay buddy. Can't quit starting wars, eh? Old habits die hard I guess.
Also, for someone so ardently advocating for going to class you have a suspiciously large amount of free time on a Monday morning...
"Oooh, witness me, I have a job, I'm very important! I work all day to pay taxes and rent, but at least they don't keep me on a short leash."
Yeah, see, I knew you were a midwit.
BTW did you get one of these when you graduated?
