 This question is way too vague as stated to lead to a meaningful discussion. In particular, my usual complaint: unless the question is localized, i.e. references a specific educational system, it lacks the necessary context to make cogent arguments. – Thierry Zell Sep 9 2010 at 2:57

 I agree with Thierry Zell's comment, and would also add that the current phrasing of the question is too subjective. – Yemon Choi Sep 9 2010 at 3:02
