I want to have stronger opinions on education. But it's such a complex issue, that I'll leave you with a few important questions.

- Can higher education bring $50k/year of value to its customers (students)?

- Is learning elementary coding skills actually important? Or is it like learning basic French? Nice, but not enough to impact your career.

- As robots change our jobs and people need to work less, will education be about training students for a career? Or building well-rounded, interesting, curious people?

- If the best education is hands-on, should students be encouraged to take agap year between high school and college?

- How can technology create opportunities for people without a college degree?

- There are benefits to customized/personalized learning. But group learning/teamwork is just as effective and important. Where do these two meet?

Also, yeah. I quoted Bono earlier.
