I spent three years on all kinds of projects that were to prepare students, they sort of got defunded. The children don't create the curriculum or create the ideational scaffolding toward curriculum. They are the ones who grew up in the culture of media. Seems to me that the reality is that so many people are looking at reality shows and entertainment that academics have gone away. Nationally we seem to be making fun of anything intellectual, challenging or of science. Sputnik got a rise out of congress years ago. maybe the Singapore triumph in technology will open the eyes of the sleeping. You don't get to Mars by reading a book. Thinking is an evolved practice. Maybe we have some other kind of divide that is anti-intellectual.
