    There are a number of easy classes you can take online, where you will learn about neat things like “the water cycle” and “why is the sky blue?”

    Try hard enough and you might even get a gold star from the teacher

      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?
