I'm about his age, and I agree with his thesis. But this article is terrible. No substantial arguments for how formal education fails and why unschooling is a better alternative are presented. In Wadhwa's article, you can at least easily identify his arguments and decide whether you agree or disagree with them. His article is basically an enumeration of his opinions, as evidence by the abundance of "I" sentences.
- Mz 16y agoI imagine he is on pins and needles waiting to find out if he got it and I imagine this was written fairly quickly so as to be relevant, time-frame-wise. I doubt it was intended to be anything all that grand. I think the selling point is "insider" and "right here, right now", so to speak, not "best researched, most polished paper ever". Peace.
- icandoitbetter 16y agoNo need for it to be grand. But it has to be substantial enough for anyone to want to read it.
