The classroom is not the real world, far from it.My mother, who had her Doctorate, and was a college level teacher/professor, is a perfect example. Again, she had her doctorate degree and was living in Florida when she asked me "do we live next to the Atlantic or the Pacific ocean?" Later that same day she asked me if one hundred thousand was bigger or smaller than a million, as she genuinely did not know. This was a woman who had been going to, working in, and generally being surrounded by, the higher education system most of her adult life. She was highly respected in her specialized field. The day she asked me those questions, I knew without a doubt, our higher education system has some serious flaws.</blockquote>
