That was an interesting discussion. I agree with most of what he says, especially "If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original." This topic came up last week during my Philosophy class, and my hypothesis was that modern education tends to glorify grades and standardized tests, raising them from a means - a tool for learning - to an end - the overall objective of education. Kids need to learn how to read, 'rite, and 'rithmetic, of course, but it's also essential that the humanities, physical education, moral development, and - above all - critical thinking never get sacrificed at the altar of core skills.
Course clear! You got a card.
