I think your post accurately describes the problem with education today. I, for one, hate paper with a passion. There is not one redeeming quality offered by it, from my perspective. Obviously you take the exact opposite stance, and, importantly, that doesn't make you wrong. As you have illustrated here: Everyone is different, but our education system only serves a subset of the population who fit that particular mould. We don't need to destroy college, and in fact it is important to keep it alive, but we need to recognize that it is not the only game in town. The computer didn't eliminate paper, but it did give us choice. Choice, with recognition of achievement, is what education desperately needs.
