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.

讀後感
春天來瞭，夏天也近瞭，六月快到瞭，又迎來瞭畢業季。迴想起自己當年畢業之際，充滿著深深的無助和迷茫。高考填誌願的時候，聽從瞭傢人的建議，選擇瞭他們口中“好就業”的工作。 大學這幾年，學著一些雲裏霧裏的專業課，臨近畢業，依然不知道自己要找什麼樣的工作，甚至都忘記...
評分在美國我發現，追求上常青藤的華人傢長很多。常青藤學校是指布朗大學、哥倫比亞大學、康奈爾大學、達特茅斯學院、哈佛大學、普林斯頓大學、賓夕法尼亞大學和耶魯大學。這八所大學都在美國東北。其他很多地方也有一些名校，如德州的萊斯大學、加州的斯坦福大學、佐治亞的埃默裏...
評分“有一次，我去裏德學院一堂政治課上旁聽，我發現課堂上討論的質量非常高，對思維探索非常嚴肅，比常春藤學校不知好齣多少。這種人文學院不怎麼關注排名，不把自己視為職業培訓的場所，而這裏的四年，你可以暫時脫離現實，一心一意訓練自己的大腦，培養自己的價值觀。” 作者...
評分2014年七月，前耶魯大學教授威廉·德雷謝維奇（William Deresiewicz)在《新共和》上撰文“彆送你的孩子上常青藤：美國的頂尖學府把你的孩子變成僵屍”，引起轟動。此文網絡版據稱是《新共和》雜誌有史以來點擊率最高的文章。此文也在美國名校中引起瞭一係列的反思和反駁。 此...
用戶評價
很容易在文章裏麵看齣作者自己也是受到瞭二元論的極大影響。本書讀起來很爽，有種聽高大上學府齣來的人吐槽自己身邊人無趣又無愛的暢快，但作者給齣的理想主義的答案並不能解決一部分人越來越不喜歡學習、希望短期內獲得大量迴報等問題。現代社會信息和知識獲取的方式便捷、成本超低，跟往昔缺乏信息的情況完全不同，事倍功半的結果是Multi Tasking也不奇怪。
评分有怎樣的社會結構，就會有怎樣的教育係統。如果社會結構固化，教育改革無從談起。
评分3.5星吧，指齣的很多地方的確有問題，但一來有些重復，二來有些地方Liberal Arts的傾嚮太濃重
评分這不就我說的“去波士頓但彆當波士頓人”嘛……考上名校是個人能力的體現，終歸不是件壞事，打著這個招牌到處當troll纔是值得吐槽的吧。傳送 http://libgen.org/get?md5=1c02f9853cf907f22218bc863fe9087d
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.
