About
My site is about my work, life and connections along the way. Most of what you will read is about my work, but of course it overlaps and is intertwined with personal interests, just like life.
It is usually considered good practice to give people instruction in their occupational activities. Now, the occupational activities of children are learning, thinking, playing and the like. Yet, we tell them nothing about those things. Instead, we tell them about numbers, grammar, and the French revolution; somehow hoping that from this disorder the really important things will emerge all by themselves. And they sometimes do. But the alienation-dropout-drug complex is certainly not less frequent.... The paradox remains: why don't we teach them to think, to learn, to play?
