I listened to this presentation this afternoon - the musical bits near the beginning are interesting but the best bit is near the 50 minute mark when Sandy Shugart talks about the scepticism people have begun to show in the institutions that serve them - when students (say) walk in and instead of wondering what they can learn, look at the teacher and think to themselves, "what's your scam?" Of course, decades of untrustworthy behaviour on the part of our institutions has resulted in this sort of attitude, and as much as I am concerned about the implications for society, there's a big part of me that says to those institutions, "you asked for this."
