C4T # 4

My teacher #4 was John Burke. His blog page is called Quantum Progress. I commented on his post "The Disadvantages of an Elite Education". In it he quotes Deresiewicz:

I responded by saying:
"I completely agree with the point made here in this quote. In more elite schools you typically see students forced to do certain things certain ways. There’s not much room for creativity in these circumstances. They graduate from these elite schools having had others force ideas and such on them. Strict curriculum and strict guidelines don’t leave much room for personal thoughts. ‘…great success but no vision.’ This part is so true of so many elite personalities."
I never saw a response.
