So, let's look at this thing from another point of view, which you will at first think highly depressing
Let's supposing we can't do anything to change ourselves
Suppose we're stuck with it. Now, that is the worst thing an American audience can hear
There's no way of improving yourself, because every kind of culture in this country is dedicated to self-improvement
Just take jogging, that deplorable practice
It's a very nice thing to run
And to go dancing across the hills at a fast speed
But these joggers (imitating shoes hitting pavеment)
Shaking their bones, rattling thеir brains, running on their heels
There's a grimness about it. It's determinately good for you
Why do you go to school?
The whole point of coming to school is that you're interested in something
You don't come to improve yourself
The trouble is that the schools got the wrong idea
They gave people honors for learning
The reward for studying French should be the ability to speak French and enjoy reading French
And having fun with French people
But when you get a degree for it, then the degree becomes the point
In a game of one-upmanship
And of course, one-upmanship is the main business of the educational community today
You learn all the rules of how to be a good professor
How to be a good professor
