One more

Came across this nice piece from Education Week. One of the author's (at least) is connected to the work described in the previous post. The article begins with two lovely quotes:

“So between odd and the same, you got to be rooting for odd.”
—Adam Sandler, in the movie “Spanglish”

“We are in an Age of High Standard Deviation.”
—Tom Peters, in his book Re-Imagine!

Well worth a read.

I've never suggested that any of the stuff we are interested in in terms of a KPS agenda is particularly new or unique. It's just one of many instances of what I think is important at this time on the planet, doing experiments in doing school differently. I stumbled across some cool folk who appear to be doing similar stuff in the US among what Tom Peters calls his "cool friends". Well worth a look. Might drop 'em an eline.
