Glad to have gotten the chance to visit.<br /><br />I have a feeling that new systems of education are going to incubate first in two places at the Bottom of the Pyramid. One is home schooling and the other is with prisoners. Home school is still DIY. Hard working highly incented people who are making huge sacrifices to teach their own children. From what I can see so far, there a few rigorous approaches to close reading for these folks. <br /><br />It's a bit under most people's radar because it's been written off by intellect workers as a product of religious impulses. The notion that folks who are religious do not crave a rigorous education is wrong. In addition, there is a growing movement among the generation in the 30's who are essentially web natives. They expect and understand how to use the web to get what they want.<br /><br />Prisoners tend to be under everyone's radar. Except for those people who know lots of folks whose path leads them to prison. I learned recently that prison construction budgets are based on the size of cohorts in bottom of the pyramid high schools. Intellect workers in "higher education" assume that because they are prisoners they are not capable or interested in rigorous education. That too is wrong.<br /><br />Michael J (@toughloveforx)Coordinator of the Printernet Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08225553436567452557noreply@blogger.com
