Very interesting. Too bad this chap's ideas will never be implemented in the American education system in general...it would be a great time for a little "shake-up" in the status quo.

I loved the comment about university professors..."They live in their heads, and slightly to one side. They look on their body as a form of transport for their heads. It's a way of getting their head to meetings." OUTSTANDING!

If anyone could agree in what needs to be 'shaken up'. One side demands standardized testing and making all children meet the same goals while another side is wondering where the arts and creativity have gone. And, just a few years after one new idea, another radical change is proposed before the last one has been implemented or funded.
