Drucker on Education
“Our education system disqualifies people for honest work.
““When a subject becomes totally obsolete, we make it a required course.”
“The schoolmaster since time immemorial has believed that the ass is an organ of learning. The longer you sit, the more you learn.”
“Harvard, to me, combines the worst of German academic arrogance with bad American theological seminary habits.”
