"Good" Kids and "Bad" Kids

Education Project Runway Style

The latest season of Project Runway (it's the teams edition--advertised as "There's no I in TEAM") has really got me thinking.

How many of you would HIRE someone who came into an interview and announced the following:

• I prefer to work alone (translation: I'm terrible at working collaboratively).
• I am really good at book work (translation: I can't apply my knowledge to real-world problems).

Now, how many of the TOP secondary students in our current education system would proudly say . . . 

• I hate working in groups.
• Standardized test scores are what I have to show for my educational career.

Seems there's a giant disconnect between "real world" skills we want to hire and skills learned within traditional schools. 

What do you think?
