It may be a sign of geekiness run rampant to say the following, but . . .
I came across a funny line in a recent issue of The Economist this morning.
In a short piece discussing declining performance in Europe's universities and secondary schools, even compared to the US (*gasp*), one of the targets for blame was the people in the educational systems -- they are apparently highly resistant to new ways of thinking required in a post-industrial economy.
Or, as The Economist would have it:
Q: How many teachers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: What do you mean, change?
(Substitute your preferred stick-in-the-muds accordingly -- I myself blame the teachers last.)
