The school where I work is in Facebook’s neighborhood, and is 100% minority - and by minority I mean Hispanic, African American, and Pacific Islander. I’m not aware that they’ve hired any of our former students, outside of cafeteria staffers, security guards, and bus drivers - who are all technically outsourced and…

So much this. People don’t have to be “exposed to code at a young age” to be able to work for Facebook. Coding is frustrating at times but you don’t need to hire Mozarts to do it. Come on now.

I actually get where they’re coming from... I live in a country with a lot more poverty and bleaker education stats than the US, and many jobs that require specialised skills are filled by foreigners or people who were lucky enough to afford to study for X amount of years.

Ach, the fremdschamen!

What was that class supposed to be about? Is this like that humility class that David Brooks teaches?

I wish I was kidding. He was trying to impart some sort of lesson, though I’m still not sure WTF it was.

Two Ivy Leaguers found far up their own asses.

You think that’s bad, imagine being in a classroom taught by ths guy. He literally once passed around a green military jacket he wore all the time on which he had replaced the original plastic buttons with big round wooden ones. He wanted us to understand his appreciation for fine detail & sensory stimulus. So we kind…

Natalie Portman and Jonathan Safran Foer are insufferable, narcissistic semi-intellectuals?
