Haha okay, if you want to read my post that way there’s not much anyone can do for you.
If you can’t understand why “visionaries trying to reform education need to read this entry level blog post, and having read it I will now do the exact thing it warns against” gets eyes rolling there isn’t a whole lot else to say.
