On Monday (April 13th) Bill Becker, architect and motorcycle builder, will be coming to speak with us.
Chapter 2 discussion
Lead: Barry- connection to Marxist ideas, conflict with Capitalism and how it forces the degradation of quality.
Jen- Connection back to ZAMM and how viewing mechanics that are not engaged in their work or “out of touch” affects their quality.
Anna- introspective look at our paths that we’re on right now–going to college, getting a degree, and pursuing intellectual work can be a not worthwhile experience. Should seek out passions rather than academia if we do not like it.
Taylor- challenges the thought of going immediately to college post high school
– Hien – some opportunities exist in certain high schools for vocational
work or getting certification for a trade.
Professor Littman – brought up point about how taking a break/time away could causea surge in motivation in people.
– Barry & Hien – related to internships in High School and the value of
getting out of the classroom.
Kaixing – It seems like people often flip around in academia, finding a career often unrelated to what they went to school for — value of post-secondary education may be inflated.
Daphne – college being close to home causes college to feel like an extension of high school.
Anna- early emphasis on career planning places unnecessary pressure on students and causes difficulty making decisions at such a young age.
For Monday-
