Education in an Entitlement Culture



I have been reading and thinking a lot over the past few months about education. What is a good education? How has our society shaped our education system? I thought this article in the NY Times was interesting, and made me think of a book I read recently: The Price of Privilege by: Madeline Levine, Ph.D. What are your thoughts? Do you see a change since you were in school? What are we really teaching our youth? Are we teaching them what, when or how to think?
