Remarks on: Education and the Proliferation of New (Old) Concepts

The authors of the essay: Education and the Proliferation of New (Old) Concepts critices the style of education America's students are receiving. They claim that the U.S. has changed the education style upto the days of industrialism and corporate capitalism. It is believed that today, Americans are only being trained to make make the highest wage, and become a successful capitalist. They theorize that we are only being thaught that the best wage will be the most successful.
I do not see an issue in this because this will pursuade all students to work hard and dream of how successful they can be. I know that if I would have been told by an instructor that I am only capable of  everything besides the best, I would not have a strive to succeed. This essay almost reminds me of communistic values in which the government will tell you what you can do with your life.
