"the socialism trap"?
You man like Social Security, Medicare, Aid to Unwed mothers,
Unemployment, and all the other goodies the U.S. now provides?
Slocomb, I know you're not very bright, but why is it that you don't know >about soxial security and medicare which are TAXES for specific purposes?
I won't even break even on social security until I turn 92.
And how do you think any socialism or partially socialist system
works? First they tax you to get the money and then they give some of
it back to you.
Aid to unwed mother's? What is that?
I don't know the "modern" term. Maybe https://www.debt.org/advice/financial-assistance-for-single-parents/ https://hopenetworkinc.org/ https://thelifeofasinglemom.com/national-resource-guide-new/

that is a required textbook for the course?
Tom, you're completely ignorant about what goes on at a university.
Where do you think those textbooks come from? Who do you think writes
them? Who do you think selects them? How do you suppose they evaluate
them? What criteria to you think they use? How do you think the contents >>> of the courses are determined? How do you think the curricula are
decided?
Makes no difference where the textbook came from, the teacher's job is
to teach what's in the textbook. It doesn't take high intelligence to
do that. Some people do just fine without the teacher...
IME most instructors were boring plodding textbook readers but the few inspiring teachers made up for the others. I felt I had good value from university at $130 per semester.I certainly had some professors who were boring textbook readers. FWIW,
my original inspiration to teach came from my friends, when we were
doing homework sessions or studying for tests. They told me "You should become a teacher. You explain this stuff so much better than they do."
But I submit that one can't effectively teach computation-based
engineering material by just reading from a textbook. You have to show
how to analyze a problem, understand and specify the quantities that are relevant and known, determine the physical laws that are applicable,
properly apply the physical laws using proper mathematics to reach a solution, then use proper judgement to evaluate the answer and, if
necessary, correct any mistakes. Just reading out of a textbook
demonstrates none of that.
And BTW, that's how any competent student in an Engineering Dynamics
class would know you can't stop a tricycle from 20 mph within nine feet.
I'll also note that one of my many responsibilities was hiring part-time instructors for our program. There were some engineers I hired (no more
than once) who were competent at engineering, but ineffective at
teaching. Fortunately, I had several guys who could have made much more
money consulting, but were dedicated to our program and to passing on
the engineering knowledge that they had.
In general, the people who are anti-teacher and anti-education are the
ones who are uneducated.

Yet somehow, somehow, I qualified to take the test for my Professional >>> Engineering licenses (in two states). And of course, I passed very
easily. I'd give details, but you'd complain I was bragging.
Taking a test is one thing. Working as an engineer is quite different.
Look it up.
Experience as an engineer for a while is not so difficult but working
as a competent engineer and not being fired is something else.

How did you get YOUR first job - the answer was that they were willing
to take a chance on you for a very low end job and you coulkdn't hack
it at that. Are you saying that people were willing to take a chance
on a PE at the sort of wages they could make for a low end job? >
I'm not a PE, but I've known quite a few over the years. When one gets a
PE license, they've proven themselves by virtue of the education and experience necessary to get a PE license, and aren't going to be taking,
or applying for, or even entertaining an offer for a "low-end" job.
My error is that I keep expecting you to grow up.And now there's no
chance of that.
No tom, your error is that you keep thinking your smarter than everyone else.
My father used to talk about men who had "delusions of adequacy."
