Because intelligence and credentials ar...".... Because intelligence and credentials are not the same thing, you should know that. I want to go to school because I have a specific skill I want to learn, not because it's going to make me a superior person. I am already a superior person, because my parents took pains to make me that way. Doing that for every child when they are young is the next step to be a better society, not because it will get them all to college but because it will make them better people."<br /><br />YES. Working in academia and seeing the false promises of prosperity marketed to first-generation college-goers, the pursuit of this dream that might have been a reality for our parents' generation but definitely isn't for ours, the way that people value credentials over work ethic, integrity, and competence, and just the way that things are going really starts to bum me out when I start thinking about it and how screwed up it is. I really wonder what's going to be left for the next generation of kids whose parents were raised by parents who valued the wrong things. <br /><br />I'm sorry I'm dropping bombs of negativity here, but this whole post really hit me in a way that's really good.Prunella Vulgarishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406854591968722235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077624495684601002.post-21430022726990117052012-02-02T20:25:55.586-05:002012-02-02T20:25:55.586-05:00...
