    My kid’s elementary school class is being taught to use that overview when they use searches. Reminds me a bit of how cults use thought stopping cliches

      That’s disgusting. Almost like school doesn’t care about informing and empowering little human beings for their future, it cares only about shaping them as cogs for the machine… actually, disregard that “almost like”, school is like this.

      This will be a source of woes for the following decades.

        No, it is really different from when I was in school. Like if you’re not supplementing their education, your kid is missing a lot. And sometimes it seems like the teachers are really struggling to maintain control of the classroom
