We’re born with a natural ability to think independently, but school trains it out of us. We’re taught to strive for correctness and social approval instead of novelty. We’re taught that if everyone agrees, the idea must be right, even if it’s not useful or new.

When I was a kid we didn't have a TV. We used to watch TV through the neighbour's window and often got told off! Now my film #14Peaks is on the @BAFTA longlist. It shows #nothingisimpossible #eliteexped

Yup, the place to be was Silicon Valley. It feels like now the place to be is the internet (which is everywhere). I expect this trend to only accelerate

The most genuine parts of learning aren’t measurable. Genuine learning often happens outside of school, when kids are relaxed, exploring, creating, and trying things out without worrying about being judged.

Pvt orgs and economists emphasize on 'basics' because those skills can be most easily measured and quantified for their vested interests. But that perspective is far removed from classroom needs. (14/n)
