Schools should not try to create savants for the software industry... besides, savants are born.. schools should create the most well-rounded learners they can.. the students should be able to choose their careers from a well-informed perspective for the greater good...
how many savants are working at microsoft to compete as a gladiator for some outrageously rich exec?..
creating classes of people dependent on corporations serves no-one any justice... India and Microsoft should be ashamed of itself....
there are other great causes that need our savants.. their gifts should benefit the people at large..
