My biggest beef with modern education is that it does not foster, encourage, or really even allow imaginative thinking. That's a problem. We've got a whole bunch of sheep wandering from shitty shepherd to shitty shepherd, and we have some serious problems that will require imaginative thinking to solve. So many things require imagination - science, art, entrepreneurship, etc. We are going to be facing a crisis.

Modern education! Don't even get me started... whatever happened to teaching kids how to think for themselves? All we're teaching them is how to work multiple-guess exams... and mislabel that as "learning."
Yep. And for longer hours with more homework and no art, music, or recess. People are so befuddled that I don't send my kids to school. Um, no thanks.
