Be quiet, muse.

RSA Animate – Changing Education Paradigms (seen at swissmiss)

An interesting (by no means indisputable) talk about the roots and nature of modern educational systems (10 mins long, but worth watching if you have the time). I think a more productive discussion could focus more on the ways in which the economic value of education (at different levels and subjects) is perceived. Great animation, too — witty and makes listening for 10 mins a lot easier.
