I REALLY like this talk

To continue our discussion on education, here is a TED video from Liz Coleman, president of Bennington College. Her talk is an extremely well articulated critique of liberal arts education as it stands today, and the pressing need to drastically redesign it. Most potent for me was her call to de-emphasize the expert and their niche specialization of knowledge in favor of a cross-disciplinary education and to re-emphasis the teaching of civic engagement and the distinction between right and wrong.

I like this.
