Seth Godin - A Ted Talk

We've been hearing voices raised against the basic system of education for a while now,  and I'm sure a lot of people, including the powers that be would agree on it too. But guess it goes to show just how difficult and long term it is to change a system.

In fact this also aligns with a recent post on Performance ratings being on their way out. The world is moving into a space that's more individualistic than regimentalized.

Seth is powerful in his opinion on it:



And then, can we make the cut at our end? 

I'm not saying we keep a child away from school or college;  no, that's far fetched, as we're yet part of a system.

But when your child comes home and says, I hate school or  I hate college, what do we do? 

Do we try and understand? maybe empathize? or do we just justify and force fit, like even the line of thought?
