@freshmaker0088 Pretty sure the phrase was from an experiment with wolves in captive, then it just stuck. That being despite the results from the experiment being far different from how wolves act when not in captive. So the alpha stuff is highly unscientific from what I've gathered.

@freshmaker0088 This is what I was referring to, but it's only in the case of alpha wolf, which is simply a myth as they supposedly don't have such hierarchies. I was incorrect that it isn't used at all. "In a 1948 publication, a scientist named Rudolph Schenkel wrote that amongst wolves, an alpha pair would fight for dominance and win the exclusive mating rights among the group. ..." "...But as Mech later realized, the “alpha wolf” behavior appeared only in captive wolves pushed into a group from a range of different backgrounds. In real life, a pack begins when a male and female have offspring. If anyone is dominant in that setting, then it’s because, well, they are the parents."

@shaunkellison1761 What you're saying is basically that the value depends on what your goal is, which is entirely true. It's why I wish they would make it less strict and focus on the essentials, writing, reading, speaking and basic calculation. Everything after that should be more or less up to the student. Of course, not all schools would have the finances to support a wide variety of lectures, but in which case the students could still choose to a greater extent what they want to focus on. There are far too many social studies that have given me damn near no value once I stepped out the doors of school, yet it was like 50% if not more of what we did at school.
