A groundbreaking manifesto for people searching for the kind of insight on leading, thinking, and living that elite schools should be—but aren’t—providing.

As a professor at Yale, Bill Deresiewicz saw something that troubled him deeply. His students, some of the nation’s brightest minds, were adrift when it came to the big questions: how to think critically and creatively, and how to find a sense of purpose.

Excellent Sheep takes a sharp look at the high-pressure conveyor belt that begins with parents and counselors who demand perfect grades and culminates in the skewed applications Deresiewicz saw firsthand as a member of Yale’s admissions committee. As schools shift focus from the humanities to "practical" subjects like economics and computer science, students are losing the ability to think in innovative ways. Deresiewicz explains how college should be a time for self-discovery, when students can establish their own values and measures of success, so they can forge their own path. He addresses parents, students, educators, and anyone who's interested in the direction of American society, featuring quotes from real students and graduates he has corresponded with over the years, candidly exposing where the system is broken and clearly presenting solutions.

观点很好,可是现实很骨感。

评分

揭露了美国大学体制存在的诸多问题。对通识教育和以就业为导向的教育的讨论深入到人生意义等宏大的话题。书中的另一个重点是透彻地分析当前体制对富人和中产阶级越来越有利。遗憾地是这种现状很难被改变。NBA可以靠选秀平衡各队实力,但社会阶层的调整实在是太困难。

评分

精英型教育是全球通病

评分

精致的利己主义者的说法是不对的,他们是遵循社会的规范(或游戏规则)而努力回应社会体制设计思路的期待,并致力于成为中产阶层的成功人士、精英。这些优秀的常春藤羊群才是社会稳定与统一的整合者,他们的表率性也是整个社会在理所当然期待的东西

评分

都是些老生常谈的问题了,我觉得追究下二战后美国大学没有为世界贡献几个原创性思想家才是关键
