This is an article that discusses a topic that h as been a recurring theme in many of the conversations here in the OT forum: education and the citizenry.

It's bad enough that US citizens are so lacking in knowledge about anything beyond their doorstep or personal experience, but there is also the growth trend of arrogance about it, as if being ignorant was cool.

Interesting article....it underlines things I have experienced since joining the workforce over 2 decades ago, with regard to education versus knowledge and the ability to apply it in the real world.

Shhhhhh....listen closely...you can hear the brain cells dying.......
