You have neatly categorised the two aspects of the pedagogical model viz 'convergent/divergent minds' that I've mentioned here before. Convergent people (eg bureaucrats) generally are stable, finishers, establishers, follow rules, systems implementers cf divergent people (typically males) who are generally bright, creative, humourous, inventive, innovative, adventurers, visionary ie world changers! Rosalie Pedder who presented the concept at home-education seminar I attended several years ago made the point that neither is 'right' nor 'wrong' the key is to recognise each others talents and capitalise on the synergy. HTH lighten your load Greg. ;-) Cheerio... Rex
