This thought provoking article challenges the goals of public education. It's written by John Gatto, a New York State and New York City teacher of the year award winner.
I really like his conclusion; that schools should aim to teach children to be leaders and adventurers, not employees and consumers. In addition, the comments on Digg are interesting to read.
I hope that the product I'm working on contributes in some small way towards John's vision of a more enlightened education system.
