The Future of Higher Education

SEE HERE What future? Education has become very expensive and increasingly ineffective. The K-12 system funded at great public expense is failing the nation and instead of producing fully activated, intellectually inquiring, growing and engaged minds, it is instead all too often producing slavishly obedient, intellectually complacent, shriveled and uninvolved barbarians facile with cell phones and ipods and fully disengaged, incapable of doing basic arithmetic without a calculator and unable to take note, write cursive, think even inside the box, belligerent and foul-mouthed, impolite and proud of it as if being vulgar is a credential. But they've been told they are the best and the brightest, all winners, and the source of great learning to their teachers. In short they've been lied to all their lives. Are you ready for the full impact of this stupidity? Ready or not, these folks are going to be in charge shortly. When reality sets in I doubt they will be grateful!
