Just a personal antidote here. My son graduated with an MBA and did very well in the program – but so do many MBAs. He really got a very good job because his life was balanced – because he knew how to use a screwdriver. He not only earned an MBA and a couple of other degrees, but he also worked construction, milked goats and built fence. Connecting learning with life experience, with ways that students can connect to ways in which perhaps they are already thinking critically, could help them make connections in the classroom and with class work.
