In David Brooks’ article “Schools for Wisdom”, he discusses how the current school system we use is based on a 100 year old Prussian idea to cram as much information as possible into a student’s head, information that can be simply looked up by a computer. He tells us that this type of system is outdated and doesn’t meet the criteria of what is needed in the current work force. Frankly I agree with him, the current school system drills fact after fact into people’s head until they memorized them all. |
