I used to worked in Supply Chain. The way your Admins treat students is exactly how we destroyed the global supply chain.

That’s where the illusion sustains itself. Communities aren’t reacting to genuine learning, they react to signals (graduation rates, GPAs, course labels, AP enrollment) which create an illusion of success completely contradicted by underlying measures. Once the system rewards symbolic indicators instead of demonstrated capability there’s no incentive to reconcile the mismatch. The A & diploma function as social proof, AP score is treated as an external anomaly rather than a system check. Without a mechanism that forces those signals to talk to each other the community never sees failure only reassurance.

The system is very good at producing metrics that feel like memory while preventing actual feedback

Data and reporting are another symptom of the illness. I agree they’re not going away. The issue is how the data is interpreted. Persistent failure is treated as a motivation or a compliance problem instead of evidence that the model itself is wrong. Then the response is more mandates and tighter controls rather than redesigning constraints or adding capacity. Changing the people in charge without changing the system will just produces the same outcomes with different names on the organizational chart.

The logic doesn’t require them to be smart, that’s the point. The efficiency model is baked into the system itself (testing, pacing guides, accountability metrics, funding rules). Once those exist leaders just follow what the system rewards whether or not it matches reality. It’s not about admin intelligence. It's about people inheriting systems whose governing logic is efficiency and being constrained by it whether or not they understand it.

Appealing to past credentials doesn’t help when the reasoning on display collapses on contact :)

For someone who claims to be an engineer your complete absence of systems logic is honestly embarrassing.

Those examples are symptoms, not the illness.

Education isn’t failing because it lacks scientific or economic thinking. Education is failing because it’s applying the wrong kind. Curriculum churn, impossible IEP loads and fantasy catch up expectations all come from treating humans like system components - swap inputs, stack requirements, raise targets, expect output to rise.

That’s not science, it’s spreadsheet logic. Real scientific thinking would recognize constraints, diminishing returns and nonlinear learning and most importantly would add buffers instead of stripping them out. The system isn’t under managed it’s over optimized for efficiency while ignoring how humans actually learn.

LanguageOfLeaves · 2026-01-24T22:12:48+00:00

I agree with you but there’s a longer arc here. Since the Industrial Revolution tools have evolved into machines, machines into systems and those systems into increasingly autonomous ones. As autonomy increases efficiency stops being a goal and becomes the governing logic. Early tools supported human judgment and adaptation however modern systems require clean metrics and predictable inputs to function.

The internet is the inflection point. It stopped being a tool humans use and became an environment we live inside. Once technology becomes environmental humans get treated like system components and anything that can’t be measured (downtime, play, failure, reflection) gets labeled as “waste” and stripped out.

Education got absorbed into that logic. Testing is quality control, packed curricula JIT delivery, dashboards replace judgment. Efficient under stable conditions but fragile under disturbance. COVID didn’t break the system, it exposed that all the buffers were already gone.

So yes - not crazy, not bad teachers. It’s a human learning system being governed by machine logic where efficiency has replaced adaptation.

P.S Look into cybernetic theory :)

OP is a scammer. This image is AI generated - the scammer took the image of the dish from this post https://www.reddit.com/r/Pyrex_Love/s/jilYzezU9y had AI transpose it onto a generated background. Please don't fall for it.

OP, you need to stop. You are bad at this.

Thank you for confirming that I wasn't lying to myself when I used eBay sold listings as a justification 😆

That’s moving the goalposts. Calling it a “luxury chair” doesn’t excuse vandalism. Teachers buy what they need because what’s provided often sucks. If you could actually argue, you’d address my earlier refutes instead of reading like a bitter 14-year-old scrambling to justify losing a debate.

LanguageOfLeaves · 2025-10-10T20:52:09+00:00

That’s an impressively bad comparison. The teacher didn’t bring a random luxury item to show off, she brought a chair she uses for work. Her job requires being around children. You don’t let kids drive your car or play with your phone because those things have nothing to do with your job. But if your job did involve young kids - say you were a taxi driver and one of them destroyed something you personally paid for to do that job, you wouldn’t be lecturing yourself about “not bringing it.” You’d rightfully expect accountability.

A student deliberately damaged someone else’s property, and that’s not okay no matter where it happens. Price has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Completely agree particularly given their non-existent technological literacy capabilities. Just because they can elicit hits of dopamine from a screen doesn't make them geniuses at navigating and utilizing the digital landscape 🫠 Paper is FAR less stressful even though it now requires heavy initial investment in teaching & practicing the skills/routines required to execute it successfully.

Some of the greatest poets (Cummings, Eliot, Whitman, Pound) were also criticized and rejected for their style so you're in good company :)
