    I don’t make educational policy dude, I’m a random guy on social media. What I want is irrelevant.

    As far as the social contract, when did anyone sign one of those? Because I look around nowadays and certainly see a lot of people breaking it with absolute impunity.

      I know you don’t make policy, but here we are exchanging ideas. I’m having. Heard time getting at your point, but I don’t think that’s because you don’t have one. I think it’s because we are almost lined up but still talking past each other.

      There are certainly people who break the social contract, but reciprocity is pretty deeply ingrained in each of us. There’s like a whole chapter in “Influence” by Robert Cialdini on reciprocity and I thought it was compelling.

        I think I’ve made my point clear several times over. I don’t actually have much interest or an agenda about some specific type of educational policy.

        Maybe ask professors their opinion on what the policies should be? Though I’m sure their opinion doesn’t matter much because American educational policy is set by politicians and capitalists – though I repeat myself.
