Perhaps the schooling system we are looking for is something that is not ethnocentric as it would seem the vision we try and conjure up are, but rather a fluid beast that we can pull up from the visions of the past and the dreams form the future that will live and grow as people change. As anthropologists we are taught to look at cultures as equal, no one way better than the other on one less. Is it perhaps the fact that there seems to be a discord with this thought and the way education is taught (there is a right answer and a wrong answer) that we feel when evaluating today's schooling.
These thoughts are very rough and need to be ironed out a bit before they will make much sense but they were inspired by a morning of watching TED talks including:
