Education is (not) to repeat things.-

Even in filosophy, the person who takes the good grade is the one who can use the right terms, not nesesarily  demontstrate her knowledge through examples, because those who examine are not sure what they mean, so they have to use the right terms.
Is the Education the art of repeating the right things? Orelse you fail the course, you don't get the best grade but just a bit less, because they are not sure.
Evaluating people, there is some kind of hierarchy in there, and then this is not an equal relationship. There is someone who knows better. They can demonstrate that by using the right keywords and terminology. And then it seems they know what they're talking about, even if the other people don't understand a thing.
Yes I was upset I didn't get that grade that would qualify I know enough, but I didnt use the right words even if it seemed that i knew what i was talking about. Why the hell would i need so much just a grade.

What 's a grade made for. When did they first used grades? Who checkes the grades? Does it even matter eventually? Don't they know better ways to do it nowadays? Do grades make any sense eventually?

-I want to write some books, some papers(why I even want that), what is stopping me? The procedures. You are not qualified. You have to do more of this and that. You have to get some funding and meet some people, then wait for some deadlines and find some research centers... and so on

-Even if I love to do this, I can't right now because they ask me to finish something else first.
Where is freedom in that.
