具体描述
A groundbreaking manifesto for people searching for the kind of insight on leading, thinking, and living that elite schools should be—but aren’t—providing.
As a professor at Yale, Bill Deresiewicz saw something that troubled him deeply. His students, some of the nation’s brightest minds, were adrift when it came to the big questions: how to think critically and creatively, and how to find a sense of purpose.
Excellent Sheep takes a sharp look at the high-pressure conveyor belt that begins with parents and counselors who demand perfect grades and culminates in the skewed applications Deresiewicz saw firsthand as a member of Yale’s admissions committee. As schools shift focus from the humanities to "practical" subjects like economics and computer science, students are losing the ability to think in innovative ways. Deresiewicz explains how college should be a time for self-discovery, when students can establish their own values and measures of success, so they can forge their own path. He addresses parents, students, educators, and anyone who's interested in the direction of American society, featuring quotes from real students and graduates he has corresponded with over the years, candidly exposing where the system is broken and clearly presenting solutions.

读后感
在美国我发现，追求上常青藤的华人家长很多。常青藤学校是指布朗大学、哥伦比亚大学、康奈尔大学、达特茅斯学院、哈佛大学、普林斯顿大学、宾夕法尼亚大学和耶鲁大学。这八所大学都在美国东北。其他很多地方也有一些名校，如德州的莱斯大学、加州的斯坦福大学、佐治亚的埃默里...
评分 评分1 棍子 去年夏天，老婆第一次参加闺女的家长会，回来之后就着急上火，口腔溃疡了好几天。原来，一年级刚入学的时候，学校就测试了孩子们的识字水平，有的孩子一上来就过了10级，成了“识字大王”，而我们家闺女连1级都没过。 我大吃一惊：6岁就认识2000多个字啊，这得多聪明...

精英型教育是全球通病
评分The author is pretty good at knowing his readers; and he do want to conquer the readers mind. To this end, the narrative is meticulously honed. That's dangerous. We may lose our vigilance for evaluating arguments; and agree with him, forgetting what we learned in our education: being critical to what seems to be critical.
评分A very angry book that points out some of the deep problems of the American college education system. Not perfect, but should be a must-read for ppl who want to study in American colleges. I'm just grateful that I didn't become an excellent sheep.
