You simply don’t understand how the education system works, there is no shame in not understanding something you are not educated or skilled in.
You and Lucas are simply children, recently out of the system, who have been brainwashed by your schools into believing the school system is all about individual competition, which it is not.
i think as we have literally just gone through the final stages of the high school education system, we have enough "education" on how it works and we dont need a degree to tell us how the hsc operates as we have first hand perspectives on this. personally i am not a fan of how the hsc literally is about individual competition for 90% of the time, before in the last month everyone is supposed to work together (ranks internal are finalised (the competitive part), then all of a sudden everyone should be working together for the final exams). this is why students will gatekeep resources, again this is for the most part the school system's fault due to competitive pressure placed on students. no one wants to be in a position where they have to try to compete with everyone else and run the rat race, but this is just how the hsc works.
im not trying to claim i know everything, all im providing is my experiences that i had during the hsc, as well as what i have heard from countless other students at a variety of school environments. your dismission that im "brainwashed" paints you as condescending and doesn't reflect well on you, all me and luukas are doing is giving our own perspective which you are shutting down without giving any thought to what we are actually saying. yes you are a teacher or tutor or whatever but it doesnt mean that you understand every perspective on how the system operates such as the experiences of thousands of students like myself. if you were more open minded, you could have taken these perspectives on board and potentially have tackled the problem of gatekeeping resources in a more nuanced way, allowing you to reduce the number of students who do so, rather than just saying that all these students that are gatekeeping are "brainwashed". instead, you have reduced the issue of systemic attitudes and issues down to an individual basis - ironic given that you are so against "individual learning".
