      In school, curiosity is hardly ever taught or nurtured, breeding legions of students who’ve lost all love of learning.

      add creativity and empathy to that list...and it's an awful trifecta. Multiple black holes on our educational approach.

          Neil is about as good at apologizing as he is at holding forth outside of astronomy. Neither are his bailiwick.

          For me, he lost some sheen in his last round of educator-bashing a few (?) years ago. Although he's done some good, I'm no longer sold.

          students are often rewarded for thinking a specific way, rather than being rewarded for thinking in general and exploring new ideas

          Students need to be taught how to research, analyze, and interpret information on their own, then encouraged and rewarded for doing so.

          Lack of creative and critical thinking in #education is by design. That is the point and the problem.
