- visakanv 13y agoI anticipate that a lot of it will come through other means. Check out http://www.youtube.com/crashcourse http://www.youtube.com/crashcourse, it's doing a fantastic job of making knowledge fun, interesting, engaging and cool.
- adamnemecek 13y agoBecause you can criticize things only if you have a better alternative.
- drdeca 13y agoNo, but I would think that it is often useful to indicate when one does not know of a better option than the one one is criticizing. Because "this is a bad choice" has a connotation that that is not the one that should be made, but that a different known one should be made instead, I think. Of course, the indication can be implicit, or from context, etc. And there might be exceptions, But I think this generally holds?
- purringmeow 13y agoExactly. And I really want to hear his/her opinion, because it interests me. My goal isn't to attack in a passive-aggressive manner.
- TheZenPsycho 13y agoWell, first you need a sorting hat. Then you have different houses that cater to particular styles of learning. If all goes well, one of the students will figure out how to vanquish evil.
- ahomescu1 13y agoHere's what I always thought it would work best: free education up to 4th grade (reading, writing, arithmetics, AKA the basics), then free libraries everywhere. It's sad that we already have a lot of public libraries, but few people visit them voluntarily.
