Dangerously Irrelevant: Contest: Six-word motto for your nation’s schools? has lots of great entries. Here are some of my favorites:
USA:
Unhealthy Relationship With The Status Quo
or
Organizational Tortoises: Evolving in Revolutionary Times
or
Rudderless in the Sea of Change
Take your pick. I think they are all appropriate.

My own entry pales in comparison, but it was witty enough for me to use in a recent discussion about this.
In Banking, we could use calculators.

Hi, Alice,
After I read your post, I went over to check out all the entries. Granted, there were some pretty funny ones. It was a little disconcerting, though, to see that, with only an exception or two, they were all pretty negative. Yes, I know it’s more fun to ridicule, and I do it as well. However, in general, I think that many schools, along with labor unions and many religious congregations, are one of the few institutions that are doing a pretty decent job at helping people develop skills needed to actively participate effectively in public life.
Of course, maybe I’m living in a bubble, and schools are in a lot worse shape than I think, but I don’t think so…
