One of the many benefits of having the Mighty E.back, fulfilling his blogging destiny, is that he reminds me to check in on Fred Reed. Fred's latest rant on education (full essay here) concludes with this beauty:
"In schooling, perhaps 'from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs' isn’t a bad idea. If a child has a substantial IQ, expect him to use it for the good of society, and give him schools to let him do it. If a child needs a vocation so as to live, give him the training he needs. But don’t subject either to enstupidated, unbearably tedious, pointless, one-size-fits-nobody pseudo-schools to hide the inescapable fact that we are not all equal.
