This is going to be mostly for my own benefit. (this place seems to be turning into a giant sticky note)
Originally one of the main ideas in my head which might be [delusionally grand] and, as such, need some sort of repository, is a fundamental rewrite of the entire notion of education. Basically this is just a reminder to myself to like get to work on that. But also a reminder that I just read some agreeable thoughts on this subject in “Fact and Fiction” a collection of Bertrand Russel’s writing. I don’t remember what part of the book it is in , but it is somewhere near the middle. The point the he and me wis trying to get across is the idea that education should be based on a real and substantial philosophy of life and knowledge and how the world works on a deeper level. And that “education” is the process of growing whole human beings and is far far more complex than a generic and uncontested set of things that it would probably be good if kids knew.

… and if I were your teacher, I would ask you to expand on this…(please)
I started to expand on this idea but then it got very long and convoluted and required a lot more words to even start to make sense. So now it’s sitting in my drafts folder. Hopefully it won’t stay there forever.
