My own thoughts on "education" go like this
1.I wish teachers spent more time teaching HOW to think instead of WHAT to think.
2. higher learning is mostly about becoming adept at jumping thru hoops,and kissing the ass of a rotting,and impotent system.
as our culture has no real "rights of passage" its not hard to figure out
I agree. Fortunately, some programs can provide a better education than public schools can!
