Voices of Reason in Education

Ahh… Voices of reason in education!

Every once and awhile, it’s refreshing to find a voice of reason in the education business. As one who didn’t get great grades but truly valued intelligence and educating myself, I loathed and despised tests that simply required me to spit back information that I wouldn’t remember in 2 years because the only way I was going to learn it was to memorize a list of facts and figures. The only classes I thrived in (and the only information I remember still) were classes that had me work on creative solutions to problems based on a subset of facts and figures.

Bravo!
