Why would a doctor, chemist or engineer need to know what is in a fiction book to graduate from a university in order to be certified that they can safely treat patients or modify product design specifications or supervise work with chemicals

How would reading Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings or Narnia make someone better at those professions

How would it help them make new science discoveries better than reading more science textbooks or practicing more math instead

@Zergling_man @matthew @shortstories thus, given that we are to have schools ("abolish schools", as i noted, is not among the options) we should encourage excellence. target the highest common multiple instead of least common denominator. teach them programming and philology and sculpture and plumbing and geometry.
@Zergling_man @shortstories @matthew it's an excellent point. in principle, why should school compel what could be voluntary?
in practice, school is a maximalist bureaucracy that will never yield the child unless that child is literally pried away from it -- sometimes it will retain a death grip even then, e.g. tranny stuff. you can't really negotiate with these people. winning back an hour here, cutting out pointless assignments there... they [the academic class] are experts at moving words around to create 0 effective positive change from any decision. you have to tear out this weed root and branch, there is no other option.

If low thyroid people could never lose weight no matter how little they eat or how much they exercise that would be a super power that defies the laws of physics and standard human chemistry

Ashkenaz (Hebrew: אַשְׁכְּנָז‎ ʾAškənāz) in the Hebrew Bible is one of the descendants of Noah. Ashkenaz is the first son of Gomer, and a Japhetic patriarch in the Table of Nations. In rabbinic literature, the descendants of Ashkenaz were first associated with the Scythian cultures, then later with the Slavic territories,[1] and, from the 11th century onwards, with Germany and northern Europe, or the Indo-European people

Ashkenazi so called Jews primary ancestry is not from Israel

How about you again cut corners and reduce class time by having them read primary historical documents from the civil war time period instead of a fiction book or a history book

I still stand by the maxim:

"Teacher! Leave those kids alone."

@Zergling_man @matthew

Let's say a teacher is going to assign someone biology textbook for homework

They could remove the English literature class and just have all the students read the biology textbook as a class group and then not assign that as reading homework when they get home

With the extra hour they saved they could read fiction when they get home if they want to or not read it at all whatever they got their reading practice in and have less homework

I highly recommend use your perfect memory by Tony Buzan if you are too lazy to read a book then I suggest millionairre memory by Dave Farrow

They essentially have the same concepts but millionairre memory is in DVD form and extremely expensive if you can not get it for free via a library

I did not find any general concept in the DVD that was not in the book, however they have a lot of specific examples for different memory systems for different things that are different

@matthew

So I originally posted fiction stories as a means to try to get around censorship that would happen if I posted certain information in non fiction form

But I still think it is bad policy to force people to reae stories about things that never happened and then test them on that knowledge especially when people could be studying information that is supposed to be true

They could double the hours teaching math for example instead and most people could have college degree level science

@matthew

How do you believe they will benefit by reading stories that are declared to be fiction meaning that the events never happened according to the authors claims

It is like reading a textbook for history class except the textbook writer claims the history never happened but you have to learn it anyway

Why?

Slightly Disagree... (on ending English Literature classes)

but fully agree that schools should not be funded by taxes, at all.
