Some of y'all won't even wear masks during a literal pandemic, or cough into your elbow, or even wash yo damn hands after you pee; how you gonna distribute food & medicine & help mitigate virulent illness in a hermetically sealed containment space?

You know how in SFF shows about The Future™ they always have shit like 10 year olds doing linear algebra or whatever? I want to see that but for them reading advanced social science and humanities texts.

yes this is about "we're teaching kids to read wrong." the australian curriculum does leave kids behind but not that deliberately
