i found this review more informative than the recent post http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1559480 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1559480 about the interview with the authors in the atlantic magazine
what the authors are saying is true in general for any -bureaucracy- and education is the oldest and biggest existing bureaucracy even after it divided itself into secular and religious education in the 18th century
any bureaucracy must -grow- continually to perpetuate itself - education does this by making education longer and longer
- wake_up_sticky 16y agoActually, I think that the Catholic church is the oldest existing bureaucracy.
- zeynel1 16y agothe same occurred to me as well thats why i qualified by saying that education divided itself into secular and religious education - as i read in this wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_school http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_school --currently the church operates the worlds largest non-governmental school system-- so it would be very hard to separate catholic church and education
