Re: The Beginning of the End of Education as Usual
Buckminster Fuller thought, I believe, along the same lines. He wrote this in the forward to Montessori's Education for Human Development: All children are born geniuses. 9999 out of every 10,000 are swiftly, inadvertently, 'de-geniused' by grown-ups. Another of Fuller's ideas has been haunting me lately, both because of the power grid oddities in California (where I used to live) and because it has a certain resonance with the Internet. He thought that the entire world should be on one single power grid with huge amounts of solar power generation, so half the globe would always be generating while the other half was turning on the lights. I'm not sure Fuller ever anticipated the Internet (he probably DID, somewhere), but boy, would he have loved it!
