[quote=Anonymous]I started out thinking what's wrong with this thread is that it has almost nothing to do with GDS and everything to do with a few mid-level managers' desire to assert their own superiority vis a vis millenials and/or rich kids. But, on a deeper level, there's just a real clash of educational cultures here and it's probably not coincidental that GDS (rather than, say, Sidwell) brings out these sorts of visceral reactions. The fundamental question is what should education do? One answer is teach you to know your place and that you're not so special. The other answer is encourage you to push your own limits and to realize that every individual is a co-creator of the culture we live in. Not surprisingly, given that framing, I fall in the second camp. And think that the real problem is when the latter sort of education is made available almost exclusively to children of privilege.[/quote]
