If You Are Not Prepared To Resign

In Every Part Of The World With Which I Am Familiar, Young People Are Completely Immersed In The Digital World - So Much So, That It Is Inconceivable To Them That They Can, For Long, Be Separated From Their Devices. Indeed, Many Of Us Who Are Not Young, Who Are 'digital Immigrants' Rather Than 'digital Natives,' Are Also Wedded To, If Not Dependent On, Our Digital Devices.

When Speaking To Parents, I Encourage Them To Take Their Child(ren) To A Children's Museum And Watch Carefully What The Child Does, How She/she Does It, What He/she Returns To, Where There Is Definite Growth. Teachers Could Do The Same Or Could Set Up 'play Areas' Which Provide 'nutrition' For Different Intelligences... And Watch Carefully What Happens And What Does Not Happen With Each Child.

While Truth Is Ultimately Convergent, Beauty Is Ultimately Divergent. No One Can And No One Should Tell Anyone Else What That Person Should Consider Beautiful.

Teaching Which Ignores The Realities Of Children Will Be Rejected As Surely As Any Graft Which Attempts To Ignore The Body's Immune System.

We Need To Focus On The Kind Of Human Beings We Want To Have And The Kind Of Society In Which We Want To Live.
