Well, Joe Salerno put out a paper back in April discussing that issue.

The purpose of education is NOT to function as a job placement program or a job skills training programs. Jobs and trades already have those facilities on the job.<br /><br />Education is about transforming a person incapable of thinking into a person capable of thinking. It's why Napoleon decreed that all the French school students must learn the classics. He wanted to transform Frenchmen into thinkers. Not just send them to the coal mines and keep them productive!<br /><br />Once again, Wall Street Journal fails at understanding the meaning and purpose of a proper human life.Prateek Sanjaynoreply@blogger.com
