@lspearmanii well, that's the beauty of free markets and competition - you don't have to pay them - you can get service elsewhere
@lspearmanii I also disagree with the assertion that there are no real examples of actual harm and only conjecture of possibilities
@mbattistella At the same time, I want them to understand that their teachers are there to help them learn & should be respected
@mbattistella Yes, our current system is not designed for questioning authority - it's designed to produce an army of factory workers.
@treypennington ...everything beyond that is "too much information" - the problem now is improving filters for stream of _available_ info
@lspearmanii I might agree, if that wasn't the position only when it's convenient -
@lspearmanii which brings us back to net neutrality (as that's a decent analogy for that discussion as well). :-)
@treypennington ..to understand the teacher isn't always right just because they're the teacher,yet still respect their position & teaching?
@treypennington heh - no, just working on this dad thing. :-)
@treypennington lol - so, uh - you were in school before Francis Bacon?
@mbattistella That's kind of what I'm getting at. I want my kids to feel free - more than free - to have a desire - to question _everything_
@lspearmanii yep. Exactly. And their current battles w/Verizon are pushing them into a corner promoting it even more
@lspearmanii Well, yes - I think there are probably a # of converging factors for why they don't yet
@treypennington Here's a related Q for u as a parent - How to encourage kids to question things, ...
@mbattistella I also have strong views on the importance of a "classical" education actually being education vs. training which is different
@treypennington Depending on who you ask, Thomas Young or Francis Bacon was the "last person to know everything"...
@treypennington Sure it was. That usually means "This kid is smarter than me, so I'm at a loss what to do with him." :-)
