Sadly, a lot of the education process is putting people in pre-deturmined little boxes...pre-testing them into a specific area, using rote learning techniques to make them conform to a pre-deturmined set of performance criteria, and, if that doesn't work, they just don't cut it!

Another issue is, good teachers do great because they're really into the process of learning and are into the kids. Sadly, 1/2 or more of the current teachers are doing what they're doing because they're too lazy or stupid to do anything else.

A real possibility in the example from the video is, a psychiatrist would have "pilled" the poor girl up on mind altering pharmaceuticals...happens all the time with kids at an alarming rate.

A real find, Chas, and one of my real hot "spots". I would have gladly spent a lifetime in the academic world, except for the disorganization, back-biting and general incompetence I found.


How sad!
