Changing the way we think about education.

In our fast-paced, overstimulated society, it is no wonder that educators and cousellors find it easier to prescribe medications and search for defaults in children (and adults) instead of looking at how we are taught.  This youtube video is excellant in depicting how we have changed but our education system has largely stayed in an Fordist, industrial paradigm .... think about it: bells, exact/set times, group think (teaching), generalizations, discipline for those that cannot conform, etc.
