This is sad. I worked at a college and the notion that something must be interesting to keep doing it (i.e. college) is sad. I didn't particularly enjoy learning a lot of things I studied in university, but still felt that everything you learned helps you become a well rounded person. If people are aspiring to be Lindsay Lohan, we're in deep trouble.
I discovered I liked writing, anatomy, physics, German all by being forced to take classes in university. Even the classes I hated taught me things also... when something makes your mind swirl with difficulty of understanding, it's a good thing.
Great article! - I wonder so often why we blindly support the building of sports stadiums at the same time we are closing schools?????
ReplyDeleteTotally agree.

ReplyDeleteToo bad everyone can't realise this.
