Here’s a brilliant video (the RSA videos are all very cool) on the modern state of public education. There’s a bitter pill of truth in this video. I love my teachers and, for the most part, administrators. But truth be told, we need to know, as we do of our families of origin, the roots of our education systems. What are the underlying assumptions, expectations, practices, traditions and values? And do you want to be a bearer of that blessing or curse? This video helps you decide. I’ve shown my hand from the title of the post. As my good friend Eric Shepherd says (not verbatim), “Kids naturally love to learn. Then they go to school and that love goes away.”
