Re: The Beginning of the End of Education as Usual
Right on. Gatto says the job of teaching is about subtraction, not addition. While the institution believes education is about adding curricular content to the empty vessel it calls a student, the true teacher believes educationj is about eliminating everything that, in Gatto's words, prevents the child's inherent genius from gathering itself. It's no different for companies. One of the things I loved most about Silicon Valley when I got there in 1985 was that almost nobody cared where I went to college, what my SATs were, or even that much about what I did at my last job. They cared about what I could do *now* and *for them*. Merits were much more about who you were and how well you did what you did. We've got a long way to go, but at least we've started.
