School year kick-off

Tomorrow the students come-a-rollin, washing over campus like a great big wave of tabula rasa. At least that's what we fear is the result of reforms in the public school at high-school and previous levels.

And so the debate of how useful humanities studies are compared to engineering studies starts in the local media. Like clockwork.

The fact that no new arguments emerge from either side from year to year does not seem to discourage the combattants. Isn't repeating the same process and expecting different results the very definition of insanity?

Yes, I'm just kidding. Even the finest among us have a background from humanities studies...
