Who is 'we?' Not me. Learning as practiced today, in both the rich and poor parts of the world, is poor at best, and often nonexistent. Nothing works! For the US, see for example the publications of the National Academy of Sciences in reading, writing, and arithmetic. Or read the almost daily bombardment in the press on the poor quality of learning.
For the rest of the world, talk to the billion children who have no schools. Nature seems to have tolerated plenty of failures! If some of you would like to see a draft paper of what I think should happen to lead to learning for all, plese let me know.

Nature doesn't have a plan. It simply doesn't tolerate failures. _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
