Just a few reactions: About history: nice example -- I didn't like history in high school either. Indeed we weren't using it for anything -- just memorizing it for no apparent reason. Now that I'm more aware of current affairs, and need to support my positions about political events, I have a use for history. Now the names and dates matter, because we got where we are today because of a specific history, with all its details. About mentoring: it's only school-brainwashed adults that have to be told to seek a mentor. Kids do it naturally. See http://talkaboutquality.wordpress.com/2006/07/21/mentoring-is-kids-stuff/ And about school: Maybe the era of disconnected learning for all, that started in the late 19th century, is finally ending. See, for example, the first feeble attempts to "get it": (I searched "work is learning") http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/envrnmnt/stw/sw300.htm Well, there’s a lot to say here.
