A while ago I was into education and I came across an interesting criticism of the "standard curricula" as the main problem of our systems (in so many countries, maybe the whole world) and he had started a project to apply his findings in the real world. Later, as my own kids were growing, I heard a teacher explaining a new teaching model in which the teacher would guide the students to "learn to find the answers", instead of lecturing or requiring memorization of said answers. I guess technology has a lot to do with these changes, and I welcome them in principle. I only worry that in looking for better or "perfect" models, we may be overlooking the strong currents of distraction all around us. Thanks for a great article.
