WE dont have to brush all our teeth ...

The other day I drove by a sign outside a dentist's office that said, "You don;t have to brush all your teeth ... just the ones you want to keep!" ...

In the same vein, we don't 'have to' change/develop/keep up - with the learning needs of those young (and old) who are where they are.

But, like the teeth who don't get brushed ... If we don't recognize the Futire is Here - and respond with the appropriate change - we'll rot and be gone.

Darwinism - at it's finest ...

If you are one of those who'd like to see something that reflects where learning 'needs to be', take a look below ... and then go to http://www.spaceunlimited.org/to find more. And start brushing all your teeth. All of them.

| The Spectator: "The idea that entrepreneurs can be people who might otherwise fall through the educational net due to lack of academic achievement is something that comes up again and again. Mark Prisk, the Conservative shadow spokesman for Enterprise, Deregulation and Competition, says he regularly walks into groups of entrepreneurs and asks them how many of them had trouble at school or had dyslexia. About a third raise their hand.
‘As a group, entrepreneurs are wired differently. That’s why the idea that educationalists can “teach” entrepreneurship is a mistake.’ Rather than teaching enterprising skills as the government is currently doing, Prisk advocates the approach the Norwegians take, where each school – primary and secondary – runs its own business."
