PatKane on why we should close the schools (Educating Kids) and get the students out into the Real World. Yet the rhetoric around our schools is mired in stasis. It's all about "employable skill-sets geared to existing labour markets", "unruly Class Room behaviour transformed by emotional intelligence". Kids are looking at a curriculum that moves at a porridge-like pace, compared to their own rich, convivial cultures of informed ducking, diving and searching.... If more than 70% of children are active Computer Game players, where are the world-creating games that can help teach history, geography, languages, physics?
