Re: Why is there such an aversion to thinking?
Date: 2010-09-28 08:30 pm (UTC)I love that section of the book (in the excerpt). And it was published in 1958. It seems that little, if anything, has changed in some 50-odd years. It probably has a lot to do with how high school isn't really meant for education as much as it's meant to keep teenagers out of the workforce. Sure, there's good reasons for doing that: it helps create jobs for adults with families to feed. It helps reduce the number of occupational injuries. It also kind of almost prepares people for trade school.
But as education, it's crap.
