I guess a 100% answer to above would be idealistic - but any place which

  1. is built on acceptance
  2. emphasizes creation of learning
  3. and focuses on process rather than results
  • process of learning
  • process of doing
  • process of deciding

should do most of that the children ask for in the last two slides.

Is future bleak?

In my own experience, i do think there is a vast improvement, not a lot, but definitely better compared to the way I and some people i know were taught as kids. i see kids these days quite lucky to get exposure to a lot of stuff and opportunities to explore when compared to what i had...only expectations and competition has taken precedence over any kind of joy one gets out of learning.  In the presentation however, the current age schooling seems to paint a rather bleak present/future..does this mean that schools may go out of fashion soon?
