Re: NYTimes.com: Colleges Should Be More Than Just Vocational Schools

[Robert <http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert>]

Seeing the way we kids were treated in the 1960s and 1970s in "Apollo 10 1/2",
it makes me wonder whether kids kept in safety will result in us ending up
like China, with very little creativity and very few innovations.
Aligning kids on just a vocational track is very narrow and may ultimately
harm everything we've grown to appreciate about culture in the United
States.
