Major in Education???

The article about majoring in education doesn't completely surprise me, but i do find it a sad situation to contemplate.  There are some aspects of American education that are due for reform.  I don't have all the answers, and there are aspects of what is going on with this trend and the "dumbing down" of Americans.  Maybe we need to let go of making people feel like they are production models from a factory as Sir Robinson suggested, and maybe we need to re-evaluate our standards as is suggested in the article.
