education

What: "Every year as the US government says it will increase the amount of guarenteed lending, colleges increase their tuition - magic! What will happen in education is like the real estate market. No college wants to be the first to say, "My tuition is too high based on the educational outcome, I'll lower it!" Thus colleges will cling to pre-bubble concepts that relate eliteness to high tuition." Yes, all that government money (loans) has gone into vastly inflating the cost of education. The educational institutions have become money whores of the first order.

"Our education system is like ancient Sparta. Not physically, but mentally," she said over coffee in a Beijing mall, where white marble sparkled under powerful lights. "Our children learn to calculate fast, play the piano, to do everything well. They have a lot of skills. But when they grow up they are lost, because no one ever asked them to think about what they want."

"As best I can understand it, being in the Education Establishment is like being a priest in a religion. You have to embrace church dogma, totally. But finally the tenets of a church come back to faith. Then we're talking about God, infinity and complex things that you can't check out personally. But the gizmos that our Education Establishment promotes are not of this rarefied variety. These bad ideas are in the classroom. You can see they are goofy and don't work. You can measure the bad results. "
