Here are Steve Hargadon's responses to a questionnaire submited to speak at a TEDx event about the "learning revolution." It's pretty funny, but at the same time, somewhat sobering. "The culture we've created with schooling has allowed many of us to feel OK about our positions of privilege, to no longer really believe in the value of the common man or woman, and to look away when millions are killed in overseas engagements that have nothing to do with making the world safe for democracy." Something to think about.
