likewise it can be obvious from looking that one’s particular school experience was net positive or net negative, but generalizing from one example is a bad idea
(in my case it’s not clear whether my school experience was net positive or net negative, so nothing is obvious at all, honestly)
You might be right. I note the claim Benquo made was regarding marginal education, and that doesn’t require all of education to be bad, just all the extra qualifications that are trying to become the norm (i.e. qualification inflation). My hot take is that probably if most people looked at its effects in their own lives they’d judge it to be bad, yet they seem to not notice this when people chant the political slogans in favour of ‘a good education’.
