Kling on education

http://stillwatergazette.com/2012/10/04/economist-expect-big-changes-in-education/

Kling, who earned his PhD in economics from MIT and is the author of five books, said the most effective educational process requires students to keep asking questions. Technology such as “miracle tablets” with software that adapts to a student’s needs and moods would enable this scenario.

“If a person can’t think of good questions to ask, I do not want them working for me,” said Kling. “You have got to show a love of curiosity.”

Currently, he said, earning a college degree shows employers that you have cognitive ability, you are able to conform to organizational expectations and you have the drive to finish what you start.
