    So you’re saying the cure for bootlicking is becoming a teacher’s pet? Isn’t that just bootlicking with extra steps?

        If you think this sort of behavior stops when you get to college, I got news for you…

        I’ve been a TA, I have personally witnessed it.

        No thanks. Nobody has ever become great from attending class.

            What if I told you you don’t need to go to class to learn?

                I would say you’re a bootlicking teacher’s pet.

                  Licking what boot? The boot of the concept of learning things other people know?

                  Let me guess. You think vaccines cause autism, right? Because mommy told you otherwise, and mommy scary?

                    Licking what boot? The boot of the concept of learning things other people know?

                    You can learn that from books, too. Or watching YouTube. Plenty of ways to learn that don’t require a classroom setting.

                    Let me guess. You think vaccines cause autism, right? Because mommy told you otherwise, and mommy scary?

                    Not as a rule, no. But I’m honestly very uninformed about this topic and currently don’t have a reason to change that.

                    Let me guess, you enjoy making wild assumptions about people based on minimal evidence and then have imaginary arguments in your head with them which you always win.
