The author provides a short history of information discovery that provides a fascinating context for the article. You see the evolution of web info over the paste decade. You also get some true insight on how to consume information using social tools. Abundant links to web 2.0 apps make this article well worth the time to read (and re-read it).

Education Outrage: Why do we still have schools? - 1 views

Competition: Why should school be a competitive event?

We learn what we choose to know in real life.

Stress: When 6 year olds are stressed about going to school you know that something is wrong.

Right answers: School teaches that there are right answers.

Cancel
But, in real life, there are very few right answers.

Bullying and peer pressure

In school there are always other kids telling you how to dress, how to act, how to be cool.

Stifling of curiosity: Isn’t it obvious that learning is really about curiosity?

Adults earn about things they want to learn about. Before the age of 6, prior to school, one kid becomes a dinosaur specialist while another knows all about dog breeds. Outside of school people drive their own learning. Schools eliminate this natural behavior.

Classrooms make no sense as a venue for learning unless of course you want to save money and have 30 (or worse hundreds of) students be handled by one teacher.

Schools cannot work as places of learning if they employ classrooms.

Grades: Any professor can tell you that students are pretty much concerned with whether what you are telling them will be on the test and what they might do for extra credit.

  I disagree - Employers do have rating systems, performance evaluations, but most of those are on the whole person, not just technical or academic skills

Parents do not give grades to children and employers do not give grades to employees. They judge their work and progress for sure, but not by assigning numbers to a report card.

Certification: We all know why people attend college. They do primarily to say they are college graduates so they can get a job or go on to a professional school.

  So, why is this the student's fault? Why blame, or disadvatage them for this? We should be fighting the system that causes students to work like this, not blaming them for doing it! it is the constant testing and league table system that is wrong.

Confined children: Children like to run around.

Cancel
Of course in school, sitting still is the norm. So we have come up with this wonderful idea of ADD, i.e. drug those who won’t sit still into submission. Is the system sick or what?

Academics viewed as winners: Who are the smartest kids in school?
...

Cancel
Those who are good at these subjects go on to be professors. So those are certainly the smartest people we have in our society.
...

Cancel
But, I can tell you from personal experience that our society doesn’t respect professors all that much, so something is wrong here.
...

Cancel
Practical skills not valued: When I was young there were academic high schools and trade high schools. Trade high schools were for dumb kids. Academic high schools were for smart kids.
...

Cancel
The need to please teachers: People who succeed at school are invariably people who are good out at figuring what the teacher wants and giving it to them.
...

Cancel
In real life there is no teacher to please and these “grade grubbers” often find themselves lost.
...

Cancel
Self worth questioned: School is full of winners and losers.
...

Cancel
In school, most everyone sees themselves as a loser. Why do we allow this to happen?
...

Cancel
Politicians in charge: Politicians demand reform but they wouldn’t know reform if it hit them over the head.
...

Cancel
Major learning by doing mechanism ignored: And last but not least, scholars from Plato to Dewey have pointed that people learn by doing. That is how we learn. Doing. Got it? Apparently not. Very little doing in schools. Unless you count filling in circles with number 2 pencils as doing.
...

Cancel
Government use of education for repression: As long as there have been governments there have been governments who wanted people to think that the governments (and the country) is very good.
...

Cancel
School is about teaching “truth.”

Discovery not valued: The most important things we learn we teach ourselves.

This kind of learning is not valued in school because it might lead to, heaven forbid, failure, and failure is a really bad word in school. Except failure is how we learn, which is pretty much why school doesn’t work.

What they mean is that school should be like they remember rather than how it is now

  Not accepting students with straight A's only shows your own prejudices. Students can be good at a range of subjects, without being passionately interested in all of them. Lots of people are self motivated, without being teacher pleasers, they just wish to do their best in everything for their own satisfaction.

Why do we have schools? Instead of answering this question by listing all the good things that schools provide, which anyone can do, I will turn the question around: What is bad about having schools?

अक्सर आपने लोगों को यह कहते हुए सुना होगा कि नमक (salt) कम खाना चाहिए। यह सेहत (health) के लिए हानिकारक होता है। इसके कई गंभीर नुकसान है लेकिन यह बात किस हद तक सही है। नमक (Salt) यानी कि सोडियम क्लोराइड (sodium chloride) हमारे शरीर के लिए ऐसा जरूरी केमिकल कंपाउंड है जिसके बिना हमारे शरीर में लीवर (lever), दिल (heart) और थायराइड (thyroid) जैसे कई जरूरी अंग काम करना बंद कर सकते हैं, यानी कि सही मायने में इसके बिना जीवित रह पाना बेहद मुश्किल है।
