      Read the OP title, it asks what job do people take too seriously. I answered. Anyone who ignores we did just fine without our current system of teachers for centuries is already doing exactly that, taking it too seriously. It has nothing to do with your strawman of me thinking a teacher was mean to me.

        Go back to being an illiterate, muck raking peasant or die young in a workhouse then, I guess. Fucking hell.

                And you somehow genuinely feel that the average person’s prosperity was, relatively, better in that period?

                Working 7 days a week, morning to night, producing that prosperity and trade for the educated class in exchange for a pittance. Whilst eating your table scraps in the dark, you can hope you don’t die of a disease you have no idea how to prevent contracting.
