The choice of
content is to choose the type of
person that we want.
So, who chooses what information is what we have to know and what
not?
I also think (and perhaps I'm wrong) that they don’t see us more like people, now they see us like gears.
Schools looking for ways to specialize more and more students, like the engineers, accountants, doctors, lawyers, etc... Not bad, it is people who make a great work, people who know how to respond efficiently and transcendentally to the demands of their business and society.
But the school forgets to develop the human sense, critical, reflective and analytical thinking, for example, there are people who don’t have errors when they do a Laplace or Fourier transform, but doesn’t know what historical context they are living.

Some schools are trying to fix that, and incorporate lots of humanistic studies in their curricula, but too slowly. Or maybe too isolated. This is something that has to start in elementary school, and they have to change their book-centered style of teaching to a student-centered one.
(Great post title, by the way)
I´M AGREE WITH THAT IT´S A PROCESS AND IT´S SLOWLY. Because the most dificcult is change the mind structures, and it takes time, work and Effort. But it not impossible, have hope.
Probably the best way to educate a kid, it's with a integral education in all the schools, and located and improve the specific intelligence on each kid, just like spatial, musical, naturalist, kinesthetic, social, not only maths and liguistic. Because we're livingin a world more 'n' more complex. So, everyone need to be ready for all kind of challenges in the future.
