Poor Preparation

One of my daily reads is the blog, The Outfit: A Collective of Chicago Crime Writers. Not only do I get exposed to some things/people I need to be reading, a lot of great advice for the writing I purport to do, and some great commentary on things that too few care about, 5th amendment rights, for example.

Today, Michael Allen Dymmoch, had a great post on education. His punchline is:

It seems to me we’re preparing students to pass tests, but we’re not preparing them to learn or think. We’re not preparing them to live in our complex world.

Why do so few get this? Especially so few who are supposed to be doing the educating? Tolle Lege.
