Alex Scoble was talking yesterday about education. One thing to remember is that people are different, and there is no perfect system for educating everyone. No matter how much we spend on a singe, centrally managed, bureaucratic system, it can't meet everyone's needs. Trying to do it with a singe systems is a recipe for mediocrity as everyone struggles to control the only source of education. Allowing people to learn as they wish, to change methods when they want, change schools when they want, or if there is no school they want, to open one. - Alex Scrivener
