some of the best insight, inspiration, original thinking and advice that i received in my arts education came from people who were not products of academia but those with experience of the real world who knew how to deal with people and their educational needs.
in my experience this isn't something that people who spend years 'learning' in the academic system are very good at.
Edit: not explaining myself very well. what i mean is people who spend ages learning within the system in the academic cocoon with no real world experience.
