Everything You Need to Know About Your Son and Daughter’s University but Don’t
In all honesty this writer sounds utterly curmudgeonly. He writes passionately about what &quot;real education&quot; is, dispenses some good ol&#x27; Hard Facts About Life, and urges us all to put down those dang computer-devices and just <i>learn</i>! This is classic finger-pointing, angsty whining.<p>I&#x27;m sorry, but the conceit here flagrantly disregards modern reality. Learning is easier now than it&#x27;s ever been. People don&#x27;t need to give undivided attention to professors anymore. Kids today can listen with one ear, read with one eye... Do their research with one tab and chat on Facebook with another. The education system in generally feels like an industry that is just barely stepping into a technological age in terms of format, expectations, and content.<p>I don&#x27;t think young people need to force themselves to regress to the antique stylings of almost all Universities, I think Universities need to realize their systems do not suit young people. And that&#x27;s their fault.
