Restrictive Learning

I was really intrigued by the Makiguchi reading, as the translation offers the example of scientists in a lab who are extremely objective and notes that by being too objective, we cut ourselves off to the possibility of interconnectedness within innovation. This concept seems really interesting to me, as one could attest that this type of learning can be just as restrictive as that of City Springs Elementary, or any school which uses standardized testing. Many universities seem to follow this trend now of restricting students to studying only within one tiny box, as a means to achieve specialization in a certain field. Yet, Makiguchi insinuates that by doing so, students are creating an education that is too confined.  Interdisciplinary studies allow students to initiate the types of conversations and synthesis to achieve connections across the boundaries of studies.
