I really enjoyed this book. An oldie but a goodie. My father had this book and I read it when I was in college. Even though it's fictious and humorous, it's actually true. Working in the academic field, schools DO NOT bestow wisdom. We're becoming a society of poorly-educated humans who like to be spoon-fed everything AND expect everything in return. I see it everyday with my students. Not one of them answers questions, not one of them has an opinion, not one of them can think for themselves.
