Nah I agree 100%.

My computer studies teacher would teach us about ergonomics and warcraft.

Whereas, exploiting the school systems taught me far more.

Heck we had VB6 compilers installed on school systems, but got maybe 1 week of curriculum over 3 years. However they were very good for building my first nefarious apps.

Theres an expectation by many students that you can just meet all class obligations and receive a proper education. But really, class metrics are for ass covering. You need to use that time, when the world isnt trying to squeeze you for labor, to actually learn things.
