Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Combines the conservative hatred of secular public education with the entitled boomer hatred of the young.
read it more as a commentary on passive learning over hands on and thought provoking methods. although this rhetoric is likely often included in the anti academic opinions that seek to damage rather than improve schools, which you refer to.
I wish the Conservatives all understood that their more progressive values are progressive, and when right wing parties will say they are going to 'change' things, they just mean regress and destroy in abject ignorance of any actual thought.
The former interpretation of the comic is definitely important, as learning is actually tied to turning your brain on and interacting with the concept, more than no context single fact retrievals, where most of the question is set up, and your actual interaction with it is minimal.
Although I don't doubt a lack of teachers, schools, or general funding are to blame for the simpler methods. Not that I haven't had a couple teachers who didn't care two cents past the booklets they handed you.
So, your point is valid and important, but there is an important "style" of education issues that is also valid.
