@BillyMcWhirter You are right, recreating the same is impossible. But is that school environment really necessary? -
@Gomba13@BillyMcWhirter I'm not sure what you mean; is it NOT important that the cultural microcosm of schools prepare kids for society? -
@emlynaddison
@BillyMcWhirter It's important that kids are prepared, but it doesn't necessarily have to be done by traditional methods. -
@Gomba13@BillyMcWhirter To me "non traditional" always sounds like people making a show of bucking the system, whether it's good or not. -
@emlynaddison
@BillyMcWhirter How many problems were created by sticking with traditional ways, and how many fixed by non traditional ways? -
@Gomba13@BillyMcWhirter I don't see kids spending time at school together to learn and bond as 'traditional'. That's just common sense. -
@emlynaddison
@BillyMcWhirter Probably only a dozen hours per week at school serve that purpose. You can get those hours outside school, too -
@Gomba13@BillyMcWhirter I think this overlooks important developmental/behavioral aspects. Anyway, this thread is getting long. - 1 more reply
