  > I suppose anything you already know could be described as a platitude. It's platitudes because of the vagueness. Students should want to learn, stuff should be relevant, etc etc. These are unmeasurable, untestable and thus irrefutable statements. Given that education has as an inputs billions of dollars and amongst its outputs the future of civilisation, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a little analytical rigour.
