"Education is a Process" -Jerome Bruner I read a book recently titled ,NO CASH, NO FEAR by Terry F. Allen and in this book he tells his life story which is a series of stories about starting small businesses and at the end of each story he summarizes what went wrong and what he learned. His point was that anyone in business can at some time have a failure or just break even but it is not a failure if one considers it a process of learning. I found this book very honest and endearing and having gone through a few business failures I could really identify with the some of the stories. Unfotunately, in business experience counts. A student can't just memorize this stuff in business school ,one has to do it to learn it. Take a chess game for instance. Our educational system would have students memorize the different pieces and what they do. they would memorize all the moves on the Chessboard and then they would be given a test in which they would regergitate all this information.
