A noogie and a raise?
Educators should encourage curiosity and direct students away from the navel of design, toward broader topics. Design Observer, Kottke.org, and Brain Pickings are exquisite portals to both design and nondesign content. They are easy gateways to cultural literacy, and I don’t know what I’d do without them. Besides collecting books at the Strand to fill in the gaps, I’ve also been lucky to find accidental paths to enlightenment through projects, coworkers, and even clients.
Educators deserve a noogie and a raise. In addition to their previous responsibilities, they now must also act as traffic directors, conductors, and filters. Content is cheap and there is too much of it. Employable designers are everywhere, but no one necessarily needs them. Given the new economic realities and lack of traditional employment, design schools are responsible for producing culturally engaged graduates who ?are resourceful, open-minded citizens of the world and who also happen to be designers. Until then, we still won’t be able to think.
-> In this context, what does "a noogie and a raise" mean?
I guess it means that they need to be complimented...but I 'm not sure.

That reads a little scatterbrained. I guess they meant the playful, brother-to-sister noogie and not the sometimes fatal locker-room noogie. A noogie, at least in my experience, involves getting a person in a headlock and more or less vigorously rubbing the top of his head with the knuckles of your free hand.

- It's a form of affectionate personal violence, like a love tap or an encouraging slap on the ****.
- A raise is when you get more pay.
