>It also grows the intellectual souls, exposing people to far more depth of thought.

I am skeptical of this claim. In my experience, it just enshrines a different set of beliefs into students rather than new paradigms of critical thinking.

Then I don’t think where you went to school did a very good job of educating, or I’d suggest you didn’t pick up on what was being put down. For it to not provide critical thinking and/or depth of knowledge in a subject is a failed mission.

If so many people are reporting this experience, it may be time to re-evaluate the current state of education.
