I want to

I want to add to what Brie said...

While preparing for our work this summer, we read a manuscript prepared by Paul Grobstein and Alice Lesnick called "Education as life itself: freedom, integration, and beyond." (see here for exerpts from the manuscript).

When did people start to think that learning ends when you finish your education, and then that the “real world” starts after that?  Brie and I are big promoters of lifelong learning.  Should teachers be preparing students for these lecture style, sink or swim classes, or should professors and teachers change their teaching style?  It seems like people think it is easier to change the students than the teachers, but is that the most effective thing to do?
