This reminds me of PG's The Age of the Essay: specifically, where he mentions that writers for popular magazines ask hard questions, then recoil in terror. I'm left with a feeling that the summary here is really all I needed to know about the article, because the author stopped working after adding some description to better frame the question. ETA: I'm not sure if edweek is popular in the way Seventeen/Cosmo/Redbook aim for, but it's still what the writing style reminds me of. When I was younger, I really wanted an apprenticeship. When I was getting a CS degree, I felt like it should involve more code review. There's value in solving a problem yourself; but there's also value in comparing solutions and discussing the trade-offs they make. I would love to teach, but it seems to work best one-on-one, which is not really what the education system is set up to handle.
