I agree completely but, even with the glacial pace of true technical innovation I doubt that education can keep up with it. I tend to believe we should scrap the idea of studying subjects, and go back to teaching how to think instead. In the information age, the subjects are easily accessible. Focusing on the original Greek education of grammar, logic and rhetoric makes more sense to me today. I could see a limited subject study at the high school level, but overall I believe deciphering and processing information is far more important today than its ever been. I'd love to have my kids focus on the trivium until high school, then move to a limited quadrivium of programming, math, history and biology at that point. |
