[squeakland] Teaching in digital society vs industrial society

[Hilaire Fernandes]

Every one want a better education system, that's an easy position.
Bashing the existing one is easy, bringing scaling solution is another
challange.
Personally I have worked both in school and factory (when a teenager), I
never thought the two were related nor common: in a factory it is noisy,
it is stinking, boss are not particularly  friendly, they don't want
what is good for you but only the job done. All the opposite a student
find in school as today...

It is easy to guess Toffler did not have this experience...

Sorry I don't buy the arguments.

Psychologically, comparing school and factory is an attempts to
disregard subliminally public education (the one who bring education to
the mass, and me).

> Toffler is not arguing against public education per se. He's saying that schools resembling factories are inadequate for today's society. We need better forms of education than sitting still in a classroom, having a different topic forced onto you every hour - which still is reality for way too many kids.
