Boardroom Caliber

Is that supposed to be a compliment?

One of the spectacles we're invited to imagine is that students will

produce the caliber of work that would be accepted in boardrooms around the world

and of course the question simply begs to be asked:

Is that what defined "high caliber"? Do we see the production of work of that sort as the goal of our educational system?

Frankly, I think we should set our sights a good deal higher.
