since i started going to school to the time i graduated, people have been telling me to get a well-rounded education and be a good well rounded person. I understand that being so focused in a study that i become ignorant to all others would suck, so for some reason people pushed "well rounded" down my throat until i was convinced that it was better to be pretty good at alot of things rather than great at one thing

fuck. that.

i think that these days, people are becoming too well rounded for their own good and that all of the general studies are making potentially sharp students into "well rounded" joes who always had a knack for something, but never had it developed. i kind of want our education system to grade for different types of "smart" after elementary school so that students can track into what they're good at. for example: why should i study physics if i'm an english major?

What does TFP think? Is the current educational diversification practical? Should we have some program similar to the honors system in middle school? Discuss...
