Our education system wasn't able to get rid of its scholastic roots. Even scientific establishment itself. The patterns that were developed at the time when early scientific research and teaching were evolving in medieval monasteries still keep appearing in research and education.
- hypertele-Xii 4y agoSomething that managed to evolve in a medieval monastery, during an era of warring kingdoms, must've been significant, and we dismiss our roots at our own peril. Of course, we should actively seek to simplify, clarify, and forget the unnecessary. But Chesterton's fence, etc.

Nope, in such 'warring kingdoms' environments science and education were not able to prosper. The middle to latter parts of the middle ages in Europe were rather stable times to allow the development of both of those. Even with that, its still a medieval institution. It must progress and adapt to the 21st century.
