Per the subject line, what are your thoughts? How do we plan for an uncertain future in educating the residents of planet Earth? What do we have wrong? What have we got right? And how will that change, particularly in relation to the rise of academic inflation?
(And on a separate note in regards to personal and community growth, I think that INFJs in particular are predisposed to stigmatizing their own mistakes, academic or otherwise, and the mistakes of others --and it's one of the most important things that we can unlearn. Life seems to be as much about unlearning outmoded ideas as learning better ones, yes?)
