Another (earlier) thread on a similar theme: Ken Robinson says that the teachers who can encounter their kids and allow them to be creative can thereby allow them to have tools they'll need in the present post-industrial world. He specifically mentions what he calls "inflation" meaning a BA used to be something, then it was an MA, and now a PHD. I've watched it a few times now. His point about valuing math above music or art is well taken, by me anyway. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools...
