This strip was simply me exploring the debate which I heard (and participated in) many times at college, does it stifle artistic creativity, or teach you how, or both, or etc etc. But like most things, the debate was more interesting to me than the answer.
A good education gives you the tools to build a satisfying, fulfilling life. A bad one forces you into a mold, predestining you for a life of conforming misery. In a lot of cases, the difference isn’t in the school, it’s in the student.
