the design process is fantastic, perhaps ideal, for finding optimal solutions to known problems given time and resource constraints, but what can design thinking do for education when we have not even conclusively figured out what the problems are? How can we possibly empathize with students and teachers when each individual varies so much in aptitude, motivation, and socio-economic status? How can we iterate when our testing cycle is 18+ years long?

The simple fact is that a college or university education is not job training. In recent decades, it’s become conflated with job training, at least in North America, and this is too bad. A liberal arts education is all about expanding your mind, all about being able to think. It’s not about gaining skills that you are then going to use in a job.

Why can’t it be both?! Why can’t education be BOTH to encourage enhanced thinking AND to help prepare us for what work is really like? Why do we have to make it a false dichotomy?

If you can’t stand to see your child unhappy, you are in the wrong business. The small challenges that start in infancy (the first whimper that doesn’t bring you running) present the opportunity for “successful failures,” that is, failures your child can live with and grow from. To rush in too quickly, to shield them, to deprive them of those challenges is to deprive them of the tools they will need to handle the inevitable, difficult, challenging and sometimes devastating demands of life.

There is no parent more vulnerable to the excesses of overparenting than an unhappy parent.

One of the most important things we do for our children is to present them with a version of adult life that is appealing and worth striving for.

The happiest, most successful children have parents who do not do for them what they are capable of doing, or almost capable of doing; and their parents do not do things for them that satisfy their own needs rather than the needs of the child.
