Knowledge, Learning, Community
Darren Draper is "offended" by my Deinstitutionalizing Education post, saying "I personally know far too many good, well-intentioned, hard working people leading public districts across the country." Well, maybe so, but there is plenty of evidence, from where I sit, that it is the institutional form that creates these chronic instances of greed, corruption, ingratitude, etc., rather than some inherently bad property of the people working in them. After all, I too know a great many people working in institutions who are good, well-intentioned, hard working people (substantially fewer leading them). But that's not what the institutional form rewards and values. Related: Graham Attwell takes on learning and institutions in this short post.
