From the mouths of babes .... weak general ed. is a problem

There is a purpose to the liberal arts; they’re just a little dated. The goal of a college education is to provide a solid background for students to succeed.

That is the conclusion of a thoughtful opinion piece by a junior at Vanderbilt. (HT)

Of course, I agree with this; how could I not when I have expressed such opinions before!
