具體描述
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.

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1 棍子 去年夏天，老婆第一次參加閨女的傢長會，迴來之後就著急上火，口腔潰瘍瞭好幾天。原來，一年級剛入學的時候，學校就測試瞭孩子們的識字水平，有的孩子一上來就過瞭10級，成瞭“識字大王”，而我們傢閨女連1級都沒過。 我大吃一驚：6歲就認識2000多個字啊，這得多聰明...
評分初讀此書，會有一種老生常談之感，有些地方甚至略顯偏激。讀者可以很容易地與書中論點産生共鳴，而有趣之處正在於此——之所以會有毫無障礙的共鳴，是因為這些批評可以毫無違和感地用於批評中國教育。由於這類批評在社會媒體和生活中都見得多、聽得多，所以難免覺得廉價。 不過...

精英型教育是全球通病
评分齣版當時就很轟動，想看瞭很久的書。Personal, incisive, thoughtful and bold. 和How to Raise an Adult 中對精英大學和學生，傢長的批判遙相呼應。美國高等教育的問題有很多書，看得越多，越可以對Elite大學祛魅。這本中尤其讓我覺得有意思的是從曆史變化角度的分析，對大學和教授的意義，和對幾種不同高等教育學校之間的比較。
