Purpose of education

"nothing that you will learn in the course of your studies will be of the slightest possible use to you in after life — save only this — that if you work hard and intelligently you should be able to detect when a man is talking rot, and that, in my view, is the main, if not the sole, purpose of education."

    That is an excellent sentiment.

    The goal of modern education seems to be to produce in the student a high likelihood of false positives and false negatives.
