Seth's Blog: Form and function

Seth's Blog: Form and function

let's go deeper Ed....zoom out. even more than finland...
we talk of the standardized tests...yet single Finland out because of Pisa...help me see the difference...

Finland indeed is doing great things... so are we..

brilliance...freedom...self directed learning..
won't that come from non-compulsory Ed..?
from questioning the publicly prescribed curriculum...?
the function we have so embedded in the word school...?

what if that is the very thing holding us back...?

we've got to quit making our comparisons based on school math..something 80%of people don't even use... while what... stress is related to 99%of all illness...we can't wait till 3 or the weekend ...what's up with all that....

let's pause long enough to ask the right questions...no?
