This is a fantastic comment because of how right you think you are, how utterly wrong you are in reality, and the context being the assertion that people don’t like to feel stupid. Thank you so much for this.

In the metaphorical galaxy brain comic of this situation, “GATE programs fell out of fashion because of tall poppy syndrome” is the first or AT BEST the third frame.

It’s the line of thinking held by the ‘uninformed self-described smart guy’ contingent, that knows nothing about education, yet think that they can intuit their way through it. It’s unrealistic, naive, and utterly condescending. It’s no surprise that I see it so much in tech people.

I was pretty skeptical, which is why I asked for examples, but I’m not particularly up on this subject, so I was hoping you could explain why he’s wrong.

This comment was really hard to parse and understand.

Are you an educator or pedagogy researcher? You certainly act as if you are.
