Ted on Education

[Cody Fielding]

I think there are MANY salient points in this presentation on how we educate/have been educated - any comments?

Cody,
As education is always being discussed in my Santa Cruz community, I thank you very much for this salient video link. I shall watch this a few more times.
It's funny that at the same time I'm reading Derrick Jensen's Walking on Water (see: http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Water-Reading-Writing-Revolution/dp/1931498784/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216078157&sr=8-2).

[Coach Flanagan]

Great clip! I couldn't agree more with most if not all sentiments shared.

That was a very refreshing presentation.

I think it is so true that our current educational system in America is quite "inflated" as Robinson put it. More and more, I hear that even a bachelor's degree does not guarantee a career.
