Design as a Third Area of General Education
Design Observer: Graphic designers are insecure. This is understandable; design lacks defensible boundaries. It is ubiquitous and absorbent, everywhere and everything. It is never itself, always its subject. It is diffused evenly across our lives to such a low concentration that we often doubt its worth.

I think this article is super interesting and I do believe that design should be part of the classroom. Design helps people think in a way that other classes don't allow them too. I think that it would be really interesting to see how design is implemented into the core curriculum. At my high school, students are required to take an art class, and each class teaches them some design, but it isn't a prolonged exposure to the kind of curriculum that would come with the integration. I love design (considering I do it a lot) and I would have loved having a class that taught me how to use the skills and tools needed to design well. Design is a part of everything even when we don't think about it and so making it more important would be beneficial to our society.
