Some. Where does the non-for-profit education go? Maybe these journals are run by people who mean to turn good fields into worthless fields of endeavor. BTW, modern education is focused on the pragmatic result$ of education (Carnegie etc.) The result?> Kids can't read.
Well, all ruminations are basically pie-in-the-sky, but ...
If we could re-invent education for those under the age of 18, we could have an broad educated class who could maintain the republic. Kids used to graduate from High School with an ability to read good books, do math, balance a checkbook, know history, and with an ability to find out more information as needed. I think we lost that a while ago.
Except for real specialists, college should not have to teach anyone that sort of thing. Here, I stretch way back to when college was largely about creating the clergy. The number of ministers needed is generally small — and not many people went to college. Lawyers usually didn’t go to college (Lincoln didn’t). Apart from the clergy, college was something for the idle rich. Then it broadened to include “everyone”. There is no need for that.
A small class of people highly skilled in arts of rhetoric and whatnot could be produced by higher education. Beyond that, I think all real jobs need an apprenticeship more than a college degree. And if high schools did what they are meant to do, anybody you see at the supermarket should have some ability to identify parallels between the current Speaker of the House as some appropriate character from Shakespeare or Russian literature. It really isn’t hard to “literate” — but our society just sabotages such things.
