I’d agree with this assessment. The American liberal arts education can do a fantastic job at producing well rounded and well read students. At the very least exposing people to arts and humanities — or conversely to the sciences.
- zozbot234 5y ago> The American liberal arts education can do a fantastic job This kind of American exceptionalism is remarkably naïve and unwarranted. The American style of education is only unique in that most other places in the world do that in K-12 already. American public K-12 though is a complete dumpster fire so everyone has to catch up in college.
- Agamus 5y agoCorrect, but it wasn't always like that. I suspect many of us were raised in a time when K-12 was also structured in liberal arts, and was relatively decent, compared to today's standards. Am I alone in this, or are my suspicions correct? That was my experience, at least. My own interests are spread broadly across almost every topic, though philosophy and computer science are my main loves.
- DiggyJohnson 5y agoVery well put.
