Would college be better without general ed's?

<p>I used the LAC versus researched based to mention breadth versus depth. For instance the pathologist DS shadowed last month bragged about taking almost all of his GE requirements in high school so he could focus on science in school. He brags that he doesn’t read fiction, doesn’t like movies or plays and admitted to not fully understanding a political argument that DS was having with the doc’s PA over coffee. He is brilliant but stunted. Part of it has to be personal choice, but it makes me wonder if he would be different if he had been forced to step out of his comfort zone in those formative years. </p>
