Like most teachers, when I started out, I wanted to save the world....now I just focus on one kid at a time....one day at a time. Growing up, I really struggled in school, and although the majority of my struggles were due to what my Ma calls "the day dreamer’s disease", I also now know the institutions are partially at fault for not being able to differentiate instruction, or delivery. I think I've known from about the third grade, that public education could, and should be much different. I'm very, very interested in trying to find out what our true potential is as a species, and to do this we're going to have to individualize, optimize and rectify some progressive, critical theorist’s ideals concerning information processing.
Let's just say, that with all of the influential variables at play these days, the bell curve can be tough to break. Some of my kids definitely step up to the plate though, others not so much. I'm convinced the real revolution, although having already started, will not really take place until we see 100% efficiency in transferring of information, and this can only take place with the evolution of intra-neural implants/transmitters, etc. Humans will no longer be capable of imposing their personal agendas, inherent biases or propaganda within their interpretation of the translation/transcription of the information. If this is our species evolving into robots, I welcome it.
Take care.
