I came across some interesting reflections online about the quantitative schooling system, and wanted to jot them down.

  1. There is a right answer
  2. You can prove the right answer with certainty
  3. You need to use the stuff from this class (only) to do this
  4. Harder things are more valuable
  5. You only need to communicate your work to a quantitative expert
  6. There is someone keeping score for you
