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
