Anil Dash recognizes that the typical push to increase the number of Computer Science majors misses the point. Our industry can grow in a very meaningful way by giving lots of young people at a high school level the knowledge they need to learn jQuery straight out of high school, or teaching maintenance on a MySQL database at a trade school without having to get a graduate degree in computer science... Someone has to run that intranet app at an insurance company, and somebody has to maintain the internal iOS app at a law firm, and those are solid, respectable jobs that are as key to our economy as a 22-year-old trying to pivot and iterate their way into an acqu-hire... We need web dev Vo-Tech. (more)

Waldorf education (also known as Steiner education) is a humanistic approach to pedagogy (Educating Kids) based on the educational philosophy of the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy. Learning is interdisciplinary, integrating practical, artistic, and conceptual elements.[1] The approach emphasizes the role of the imagination in learning,[2][3][4][5]:69 developing thinking that includes a creative as well as an analytic component.[6][7] The educational philosophy's overarching goals are to provide young people the basis on which to develop into free, morally responsible[8][9] and integrated individuals,[2][10][11] and to help every child fulfill his or her unique destiny, the existence of which anthroposophy posits.[12][13] Schools and teachers are given considerable freedom to define curricula within collegial structures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldorf_education (more)

Free association is a technique used in psychoanalysis (and also in psychodynamic theory) which was originally devised by Sigmund Freud out of the hypnotic method of his mentor and colleague, Josef Breuer. Freud described it as such: "The importance of free association is that the patients spoke for themselves, rather than repeating the ideas of the analyst; they work through their own material, rather than parroting another's suggestions". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_association_(psychology)
