Well, I'm old-fashioned. I'd like a president who knows more than the bullets in the briefing paper. You've got to know stuff before you can think about it. On the other hand, Gore's belief in his own expertise makes me nervous. Collective learning is another modern buzzword.
Students work on projects in groups, so they can develop essential teamwork skills.
Bush is a collective learner, drawing on the expertise of others and trusting his advisers to work out the details of policy proposals. Gore's IQ, as measured in prep school, is quite high. Bush's is unknown. Some people are weak on logic but exceptionally strong in, for example, social intelligence. If the ability to deal with people is indeed a form of intelligence, then Bush is an Einstein of affability.
