more on nate's question, via Jay.... who writes:
What
happens if teachers as well as students are involved in 5D? does it change
their notions of what "these students" are capable of? of what students
respond to? of what sorts of methods work? ... that much could lead to
reform (not revolution because I don't see it as likely that even then
there would be much change in notions about the goals of schooling).
Yes, Jay, we have a good deal of evidence that our afterschool activities
leak back into school in various ways. It might even change some ideas
about the goals/means of schooling. But still.....
What knocks me over time after time is how much our schools look those
in UR and the USSR and ...... Some very powerful structures are at work.
doubtless the answers to these questions were to be had in seattle this
past week. Sorry to have missed it.
