On Education
Circular at Mere-Orthodoxy has a great post on what's wrong with education these days. I think a very interesting question is why have the syptoms he described so well appeared. The egalitarian urge that has done away with anything that might reward, highlight, or encourage excellence has got to be checked. I visited the Soviet Union -- trust me, you do NOT want to live in a society where excellence is discouraged.
