Last Friday, the Pope Center hosted its annual conference. This year we held a roundtable discussion that brought together a baker’s dozen of academics from a wide variety of disciplines to consider how we might help students make more of their undergraduate years.
One of the participants, Peter Wood, writes about the conference here.
In my view, the central problem of American education, from kindergarden through college, is that, as Thomas Sowell puts it, the system is dominated by the interests of the producers rather than the interests of the consumers. That is what needs to change if we’re to start getting education that’s more effective and less costly.
