I believe that there are currently more significant problems than those mentioned in the (very good) TED talk---how do we stop the continued trend of denigration of teaching and the profession in general? The current populist idea of blame all of the teachers for the nightmare that administration gone insane is, is not going to lead us unto the future. It will lead us back to a time of ignorance and idiocy.
