From someone who might be sympathetic to your cause and who is definitely interested in learning something: your case would be much stronger if you actually gave us an argument to support your case and recommendations for what you would like to see. I may have missed something in this thread, but everything I have read from you was a critique of the educational system. And, while I don't doubt that critiques of the system are warranted, they are pretty empty in the absence of ways to improve, alternatives. If you support the unschooling movement (as one of your earlier posts intimated), I would be very interested in how to operationalize it. I support many of the values it espouses (encouraging exploration and self-direction; eschewing competition and testing), but (perhaps) paradoxically, I think that those goals ought to be achieved by re-orienting existing educational institutions rather than abolishing them altogether, which is what your posts seem to support. If that's the case, then I'd really like to hear the how.
