Over the years, I have been writing about misconceptions regarding the schooling process. The purpose of these posts is to explain why I disagree with various comments that I have heard people make about schooling. These are meant as personal thoughts rather than conclusive proof, and I will admit that I'm not always the best at explaining my thoughts. Regardless, I have decided that I should be willing to share these posts when I encounter someone online who makes an argument that I have already discussed.
The War Between Schooling and Education
Education has taken on contradictory meanings. Some of us reject using the term to refer to our schools. It can be stated that our schools are at war with education. This blog was initially developed for the purpose of sharing some quick (rather than conclusive) pro-education/anti-schooling thoughts. This has been expanded to include a voice from the other side of the war. Admittedly, this voice was picked for its tendency to show the absurdities of the pro-schooling/anti-educational side.

Keep in mind that Democrats have openly supported criminalizing speech that makes them uncomfortable.

AI revisited
Not too long ago, I asked an AI platform a question to get a better sense of how well they work. Admittedly, I provided skewed wording. I don't remember the specifics of what I asked, but it related to the idea that Democrats who are accusing Donald Trump of doing too much damage to the economy actually criticized him for not doing enough damage to the economy during the pandemic.

Education or educations?
Why don't I ever see anyone pluralizing education? I can understand treating this as a collective term for an individual's development. We can discuss all the things that comprise an individual's education as a singular education.
