21stcentury - Sarah Hanawald on Diigo

That is a pointed foreshadowing of the massive Ritalin
interventions which would accompany the student body of the future.
Schools were conceived to serve the economy and the
social order rather than kids and families -- that is why it is compulsory.
Managing
children is what professional childcare is about in America. Schools are part of
the professional child care empire and education has nothing whatsoever to do
with it.
chool is a place where children learn to dislike each other
Those of you who took rat psychology in college will
know what I'm referring to -- just like the experience of rat psychology, the
bizarre behavior kids display is a function of the reinforcement schedule in the
confinement of schooling to a large degree. I'm certain of that. Children like
this need extensive management.
to
realize the potential in machinery and fossil fuel, that the bulk of the
population would have to be dumbed down and made dependent -- not to hurt people
-- but because only in this fashion could a population of producers, which
surely characterizes the American scene then, be turned into the consumers
required by a commercially intense economy.
Schools would serve as "instruments of managed evolution, establishing
conditions for selective breeding before the masses take things into their own
hands"
certain kinds of mental training in history, in philosophy, in rhetoric, for
instance, made students resistant to manipulation because it developed
independent intellect, it reduced their plasticity.
n our dreams, people yield themselves with perfect docility to our
molding hands. The present education conventions of intellectual and character
education fade from their minds and unhampered by tradition we work our own good
will upon a grateful and responsive folk. We shall not try to make these people
or any of their children into men of learning or philosophers, or men of
science. We have not to raise up from them authors, educators, poets or men of
letters, great artists, painters, musicians, nor lawyers, doctors,
(he's really covering the whole gamut of employment isn't he?)
statesmen, politicians, creatures of whom we have ample supply (whoever the pronoun we is meant
to stand for there). The task is simple. We will organize children and teach
them in an perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an
imperfect way".
Carl Rodgers
and Dave Maslow, who were used really as the religious text for psychologizing a
classroom for years. At the end of both of those men's lives, they repudiated
their life's work.

Web 2.0 Is the Future of Education (Techlearning blog)

I believe that the read/write Web, or what we are calling Web 2.0, will culturally, socially, intellectually, and politically have a greater impact than the advent of the printing press.
Because it is in the act of our becoming a creator that our relationship with content changes, and we become more engaged and more capable at the same time. In a world of overwhelming content, we must swim with the current or tide (enough with water analogies!).
it's in the hallway discussions after the lecture where JSB mentions that learning actually takes place
If MySpace were a country, it would be the third most populous in the world.
Learn About Web 2.0. It's not going to go away, and it is pretty amazing. I know it may seem overwhelming, but it's worth taking the time to jump in somewhere and start the process.
You may think that you don't have anything to teach the generation of students who seem so tech-savvy, but they really, really need you. For centuries we have had to teach students how to seek out information – now we have to teach them how to sort from an overabundance of information. We've spent the last ten years teaching students how to protect themselves from inappropriate content – now we have to teach them to create appropriate content. They may be "digital natives," but their knowledge is surface level, and they desperately need training in real thinking skills.
We may be afraid to enter that world, but enter it we must, for they often swim in uncharted waters without the benefit of adult guidance.
