Insightful Lance!

Thanks for this. Question: what kind of training do you re critical evaluation and thinking?

There is simply too emphasis on cramming and regurgitation. The end result are the results highlighted in this article. I own an Information Technology company. Whenever we hire graduates we find we have to do too much training in critical evaluation and thinking before they are ready to produce. There has got to be a paradigm shift in thinking when it comes to the delivery in education in the formative years.

We don’t hire the ones we already have much-less the worker bees that are being generated.
