Following on Engestrom's paper about the encapsulation of school learning and the discussion of Mike's class and of the university - "real" world misfits, I thought that others might appreciate this Chronicle piece: http://chronicle.com/article/Students-Go-Into-the/139349/ and the sentence from this piece that, imo, rings the most true: "To put it bluntly, academe doesn't always reward people for work in the real world." Mike's "Event Planning" class seems like a nice step in the right direction as well. For me now back to battling the paper tigers of academe. -greg -- Gregory A.
