THEFEDERALIST.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: [Do not] think of education only as a trampoline to achieve material good, because that then creates intellectual vanity and material greed.... Don't let these concepts, through modern education, enter into the psyche of the Jamat and end up by misguiding you about the real value and the real meaning of education in Islam.] ARTICLE: As a friend of mine who's no stranger to dealing with wealthy and powerful people put it, "It's not an exaggeration to say [elite colleges are] the central organizing obsession for a large segment of American society," at the expense of understanding what constitutes a good education and what it should accomplish. The end goal for them is passing on elite status to their children. If you really care about your kids' education, focus on cultivating their faith and character and make sure they understand the accumulation of knowledge is ultimately a tool for improving the world around them, and not just about credentials and wealth.

Higher education's bubble will likely finally pop. As Ben Domenech notes "What parent would be willing to plunk down a vast sum of cash given the damage to their portfolio and their livelihood?" Consequently more parents may detach from calcified education systems that often sponsor open hostility to them. #6: Learning How to Live through Deprivation. Let's face it: Most of us ...
