[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oops, I did misread.  But it wasn't wrong -- it was "is," LOL!  Which I read as "with"  Sorry about that!![/quote]

LOL!  I thought I was losing my mind.  I kept reading over and over trying to figure out what I had missed.  :lol:[/quote]

Same experience, LOL, and the bolding really threw me because, actually, that's what I was fixated on and probably why I missed the preposition!

Where we may really disagree is whether schooling is geared toward the educational needs of those in the middle.  I kinda think it's geared to sort and rank and then to dramatically narrow the competency/curiosity/intellectual ambition of most people.  But that's a topic for a different day.  [/quote]

I don't believe we disagree about that at all.  While I did say that schooling is geared towards the middle I didn't mean to imply that the curriculums are what they should be.  I just think the it's an even bigger problem for those on either end on the curve and if accomodations aren't offered the results can be painful.

I really like the diagram from this blog post.  I'm not posting the link because of the topic per se.  I just posting because the diagram speaks to what is wrong with education in this country for all kids.  It's what education is and what it should be.....
