A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .
The recent economic crisis has involved the best graduates from our most prestigious schools. The key players were our greatest test takers, our academic overachievers, and those who leveraged Ivy League success to land (unconscionably) high paying jobs in the financial sector. Their greed, incompetence, and narcissistic irreverence speak eloquently to the failure of our educational systems. __The economic crisis is a crisis of capacity and decision-making, as the sheer complexity of the global economy has long outstripped the analytical tools used to understand it. No business school in the world can prepare anyone to understand the unimaginable speed and complexity of today's capitalist world-economy.__
Education in a Time Between Worlds
Zachary Stein
Elders can no longer claim to fully understand the experiences their children are having and will have. Education must not be what it has been. Our children are tomorrow's already. We must educate them openly, in the world, without pretension of profession. Their world will not be the one we have known; we must teach the teachers not to instill yesterday's knowledge, but to create spaces in which tomorrow's problems become visible.
