Follow Up Post on Education

A few days ago I posted a video on this site regarding the flattening of our world and how our education system is doing with keeping up with the exponential times we live in. I felt this video would also give some additional, good perspective to part of our education dilemma.

Brilliant. I think those statistics are still pretty conservative. I feel like I went to a fantastic school and would/do recommend it often. But the issues and problems that that video portrays are real and bigger than even the video makes them out to be.

Bryan,

I am in the middle of a brillant book right now called "The World is Flat." I would highly recommend it. That book was the source of a lot of the statistics in that first video. It also really does a great job of showing the gap between America and the emerging Flat World and what we need to do in order to keep up.

Thanks for commenting.

I've heard about that book. A lot of my friends have recommended it. I may have to borrow it when you're done.
