Living up to the Rep
If schools are to live up to the promise of educating us, they will have to change drastically and never again subject us to the frustration of being a cognitive apprentice.
Today we are very concious that they no longer best serve the needs of learning. They are tied to a curriculum and patriarchal ideology that confines all of us. We have become users and not scholars. We trained people at the expense of teaching them. When using a technology we must always ask ourselves "how did I create independence here?". We must be critical of ourselves and others when we even suspect we are reinforcing dependance. That is our duty of care to the youth in school. It's easy to filter the filth and porn, but it seems we allow the facile, pointless and ignorance of the curriculum without regard.
