[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really surprising when it is the overwhelming view of parents on this board that the humanities are a complete waste of time, and everyone needs to be studying CS to make maximum $$ in tech or finance.[/quote] Meanwhile some of the very best minds in actual computer science - not software engineering or cowboy coding or being an elite "hacker," but the people who invented the very concepts that drive computing - will tell you the liberal arts are critical to their thinking.[/quote] Although it tends to be philosophy and logic vs reading fiction. Einstein loved the great thinkers, but you don’t read about him extolling the virtues of literature authors.[/quote] OK but the schools cutting back on novels aren't putting in Plato and Kant in their place.
