Econtalk.org podcast:
"Caplan argues that very little learning takes place in formal education and that very little of the return to college comes from skills or knowledge that is acquired in the classroom. Schooling, he concludes, as it is currently conducted is mostly a waste of time and money."

摘自外滩教育:
Caplan认为,“好学生”应该念大学,但是有三个前提:
第一、专业重要性超过学校名气。选一个真正的专业,STEM,经济学、商科,甚至政治学。
第二,本州公立大学价廉物美。尤其是加州伯克利、弗吉里亚州立和密歇根州立,学费白菜价,毕业生在雇主眼中跟顶尖私立大学相当。
第三,毕业后一定要全职工作,否则前功弃半。
至于73%分位以下的学生和家庭,教育最大的意义是给人希望。
希望不灭,神话永续。在神话笼罩下理性选择,谈何容易。
