Watching Marilynne Robinson on Bill Moyer's "Keeping Faith in Democracy" I was amused by her criticism of the current education system's emphasis on producing little automatons suitable for industry versus the free spirited education she enjoyed in her youth that lead her to be a writer. The biggest difference today is that we have a federal Department of Education dictating standards. Thank god we still have private schools and home schooling as a growing alternative.
