Someone was actually suggesting
that you can take this concept further,and actually produce placebo
education. The point is that education doesn't actually work by
teaching you things. It actually works by giving you the impression
that you've had a very good education, which gives you an insane
sense of unwarranted self confidence ....
The U.S. is not among the top performing OECD nations in any
subject tested by PISA -- though U.S. students express more
self-confidence in their academic skills than students in virtually
all OECD nations. This stunning finding may be explained because
students here are being commended for work that would not be
acceptable in high-performing education systems.
... then makes you very, very successful in later life.
