Fun story, Daniel.
Reminds me of a more serious article, an essay written five years ago by
Daniel Pink about the educational system as it existed then and, for the
most part, now. Yegge's "Wizard Schools" may still be a few years off (as
his article implies) but many of Pink's concerns are already being dealt
with in many of the schools represented on this (Squeakland) list.
Daniel Pink's article is at
http://www.reason.com/0110/fe.dp.schools.shtmlOne thing is certain: we can't invent the future by merely perpetuating the
past.

Subject: [Squeakland] Wizard Schools (have you heard about them?)
I'm not sure where I got this from. But it's quite
interesting:
