      I think the most damaging thing I learned in school was that the “right answer” would always be something I had been specifically taught that didn’t require all that much thinking for myself. Wtf. I consciously unlearned it in college, but subconsciously I’m still not sure...https://twitter.com/William_Blake/status/1203348802679083008 …

      This is where he loses me. Maybe the deal is that I went to a good school (I did). But my experience of k-12 was that the kids who did well on the tests pretty much all understood the material they were being tested on. Anyone else?https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1203380537408327682?s=20 …

      "Anyone who cares about getting good grades has to play this game, or they'll be surpassed by those who do. And at elite universities, that means nearly everyone, since someone who didn't care about getting good grades probably wouldn't be there in the first place." Except me!

      I did optimize getting into college, and it worked, so I went to Harvard. But once I was there I pretty much decided I didn't care about grades, and my behavior reflected that. But I'm weird. (I did care about passing classes, but that was pretty much it.)

      Replying to @diviacaroline

      When you enroll in college, you enter into a fundamentally new relationship with your grades, where the returns on each additional “A” become a lot less legible. You *should* care a lot less about grades! But nobody really tells you this when you get to university...

      I tired to sell one of my roommates on this perspective, and she wasn’t convinced! She went to grad school though, so maybe it was important for that?

      I’m a pretty recent college graduate, and anecdotally, grades were more more important for my friends who did academia Still, grades only seemed to matter in their field of interest (where they naturally got good grades as the only undergrads who were academy-level obsessed)

      And their UG thesis work usually was much stronger predictor of success in grad school admissions
