Also this whole "let the student decide" thing is dumb.

If things were so simple to understand and evaluate that you only needed a grade 8 education then what's the point of having university, or degrees, or hiring people with years of decades of experience? Since all you need to completely understand and evaluate centuries of science in diverse disciplines such as biology, genetics, geology, paleontology, astronomy, cosmology, physics, anthropology and biogeography (just to name a few) is a grade 8 education and a few hours in a biology classroom apparently, the rest of this education stuff is just silly.

Next time I go to the doctor with my kid, I'll make sure my doctor presents both sides of a decision (one drug or another, or a drug or leeches) and my kid can decide for himself.
