We are a global forum and you're bound to find 'global' problems here

Well, my experience has been different. I have interviewed many young, fresh graduates who flaunt their 'topper' status. But a 10 minute discussion will tell you one thing - they have never gone beyond their textbooks! That's sad!
I remember Sabeer Bhatiya (the founder of Hotmail) said the following in one of his interviews:-
"Once our professor asked all of us to read two books and write a report about it. I submitted my report and got a very low grade. The professor told me - what you've written is just a summary of what's said in the book. I expected you to write your about own thoughts / learning you derived from the book."
Granted that education system helps us understand the things in better way. But does it really makes us think about new things? Something that has not been done before? Or does it help us improve our imagination so that we can do the things in a better way?
