Shared this with my son. Though he graduated Cum Laude from a strong private university, he often questions whether the cost was worth it compared to what life has taught him since. That’s why I think The Preparation will resonate — it makes the case that real-world experience can be every bit as valuable as formal schooling, sometimes more.
I have enjoyed the YT discussion between Doug and Matt re: The Preparation book, of course I have purchased it! I am looking forward to seeing the suggested reading list and curriculum ideas within. I think the Pandemic situation and how it was handled in the west culminated in a pervasive purposelessness and destruction of motivation never experienced before. This concept may be a very important and practical antidote we need and are ready for.
I am going to print a copy of this post and place it inside the cover of The Preparation which has just arrived. A present for my son and his children. THANK YOU.
Yup: and it's intentional for "public" "schools" to pimp college, and ignore trade schools. I speak as an expert witness after 38 years' service as a public school teacher. Our "leaders" designed this before the woke secondary "education":
US public education: Bullshit to train stupefied work animals. Introduction: defining ‘bullshit,’ demanding comprehensive, objective, and independently-verifiable factual accuracy everywhere in Life, along with freedom to authentically respond (1 of 12)
Thank you Doug and Matt, important information for kids and their kids.

I only hear about this being useful for boys/men - what about my granddaughter.
