Wonderful article, great ideas to think about but I don't agree with words like OBSOLEDGE. What about being totally unaware of Greek culture or philosophy? Is it obsoledge? I love knowledge, learning from the past and school has the duty to teach what children won't ever learn out of it. Then there is the world, another great school where kids can learn whatever school can't teach. School teaching must struggle for the defence of the thought, the feeling, the passion, which combined with practical, manual work may hopefully give the society a thoughtful, indipendent, free and happy man. And can kids get an emotional involvment while living 24/7 in a schoolish organization? Where is the time of being alone, with their innermost self, where the time of getting bored? I'm a supporter of boredom
What's wrong and right with public education
