Bashing

It's true that the robot factory appears to be up and running, full steam. However, you know, when we examine a system that is already in place, it is facile to come up with negative commentary. I'm guilty of this, too, as a parent who is not at all satisfied with much of the learning system in place as it is today. What I'm interested in is what you seem to be getting to, Mr. Gray--the what DOES work, instead of the what DOESN'T. In that vein, I wonder if direct observation by children of the adults immediately surrounding them in the context of our current society may be exactly what is needed when you factor in the various unsavory social cues (i.e., brown nosing) rampant and in some cases unavoidable. I mean, do we want our children to be like the proficient liars, ambitious cut-throats, and self-efacing puppets whom we work with (who we are)?

I think it is important to see what your next post will entail, and I want to discover if what works on a small scale could indeed supplant the school system we know and revile today. I'll be honest here and point out that our teachers are doing a helluva job with limited resources, reticent students, over-ambitious parents, and less than satisfactory learning settings. I don't fault the people. Indeed, if what you write in your next post is a system that can be impelemented structure-wide, I want to know what's the hold up?

Looking forward to reading more.
