It is a problem with probably all education that it tends to be presented as canned problems with canned solutions, and if you wend your way to the pre-packaged solution, you get a treat.

I suppose it would be cruel, but there would probably be benefit to tossing students into desperate situations, where there may or may not be a solution.
They are living in academic silos.

 Pope Francis called Friday for politicians to find solutions to reverse Italy’s declining birthrate, warning that young people faced a “Titanic effort” to start families in a precarious environment.

I’ve spent some time thinking about this, and I can’t think of anybody less qualified to opine on how to make more babies than the pope. If anybody pays any attention to what he is saying, that’s their problem. And probably won’t result in more babies.
