Hi Billy, > misunderstand one of the main purposes of education itself, teaching culture > to men and women, teaching the value of culture, and teaching the best values > we can identify for our lives.
I completely agree. The problem is I have yet to find any educational institution that actually is serious about doing that. Does anybody define precisely which values they are going to teach? Do they measure how well they do? Where is the college that promises you the skills you need to live a happy life? Does anybody even offer courses on sexual integrity, budgeting, abuse of power, or any of the other issues that regularly destroy lives, families, and careers? Do you know any colleges where you would say, “gosh I wish I had their values?” Which is why geeks like me think those schools that talk about values are really just blowing smoke To avoid actually be accountable for anything. Really it seems to be about idolizing 18th century European culture and the hobbies of the idle rich...
