It's a beautiful thought that touches deep into my hacker spirit, but the conclusion seems weak: what is it that we are advocating for? Remote learning? Home-schooling? Having classes under a tree? It's unclear. The point that you were making with the military canteen vs cooking at home metaphor is that compulsory education doesn't follow individual inclinations. Then, the conclusion should state the proposed solution for this problem. -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://sugarlabs.org/ _______________________________________________ Olpc-open mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-open
