On education in general today, all I can say is look at the results.

Typical to me is the Xtreme athlete I saw in a puff piece. He was bragging that he had a degree in criminal justice and was getting a MA in something or other(sounded like a feel good thingy). He said he would never use it, but everyone should be able to say "they are educated."

In Korea I saw people with even PHD degrees doing something totally different than their areas. One guy I knew who worked as a waiter at a restuarant earned $300 a month. He had a Master's Degree.

Yes, the bad gets emphasized. I am glad that I can see in my community newspaper some of the good young people out there and the things they are doing. THOSE are the ones that should really be promoted. I appreciate my own students and their parents and thank God for the many wonderful miracles I see each year.
