A Fascinating article about our Education System

I think of all of us on this blog, except maybe Sue, are involved with education in some way--either now or in the past. Here is an article that is absolutely fascinating, and I think it mirrors some of what Trish was saying in her blog about the narcissism epidemic.

My favorite part of the article is this:

"If you view education in purely instrumental terms as a way to a higher-paying job - if it's merely a mechanism for mass customization within a marketplace of ephemeral consumer goods - you've effectively given a free pass to the prevailing machinery of power and those who run it."
