When I was a child, I had a friend who lived next to Overcoming Learning Church. It clearly meant to be the Overcoming, Learning Church but had somehow never gotten that comma.
Sometimes, the smallest things can make the biggest difference.
Sadly, there are a lot of Jesse Scaccias out there. They are the product of a broken educational institution--what happens when a bright child's native curiosity or loving and learning-centric home are not enough to overcome the flaws of institutional education. Originally, this was meant to be a throw-away blog, to further expose Scaccia's hypocrisy and cowardice. But I've been thinking of how much more it could be.
The emperor, such as he was, never had more than a couple of souls who thought he might have some clothes. But the point here isn't to laugh at a naked man.
It's to look at educational systems--how they work and how they fail.
