School is an Infinite Game

I enjoy all things Simon Senek. 

In this video, he talks about how often in business you hear about sales targets or goals being made. But he argues that they are meaningless because nothing happens if those targets are not met. He says business is an "infinite game" where we are always striving to be better and we should be looking at how much growth has been made. 

Isn't that what school should be for - to move people forward?
