I love Car Talk. And I don’t even own a car! I love the idea that these two brothers have created such a devoted following by simply sitting around and joking on the radio while diagnosing oddball car noises and funky starters. They are wonderfully irreverent and have a great time while helping people solve their auto mysteries.
So, imagine my delight when, while checking out a homeschooling site, I found a link to the Education Forum On Car Talk. At first I thought it was a typo. The Car Talk guys? Talking about education?
But sure enough, they have devoted a section of their site to their particular concerns–namely, how to deal with a system that doesn’t work–regarding education in the USA. And they’ve received thousands of responses from, they assure us, really smart people, including those who’ve received those pricey degrees that prepared them perfectly for the life of a 19th century gentlemen.
So, yeah. They get the relevance issue. They get the wasted money issue. They get that things need to change in a great big way. And I’m just thrilled to have such wise and wisecracking characters willing to take this on just for the sake of, I don’t know, stirring things up and getting people talking in order to discover creative solutions.
That’s what they do best.
Welcome aboard, Click and Clack.
