I am currently reading Salmon Khan's book. I am learning so much about- well learning. At the moment my interest is peaked when it comes to anything that enlightens me regarding someday making a difference in education. Not just teaching but knowing the hooks and crannies of the current system. In the hopes that things might change. Humans are diverse, cognitively as well and i think this fact is neglected even more than the most obvious issues of exclusivity. schools were meant to teach but somewhere along the line it forgot the essence of learning fluctuates and cannot develop if it persists to hold its rigid form. Flexibility, autonomy these are essential to learning. No one ever learned by staying in one place. I think we need more of these.
