Perhaps, I wrote that as much for myself as for my interpretation of Bret's work. That said, I don't think anything I've read in the last 5 years has impacted me as much as Papert's Mindstorms, which I believe is a strong influencer of Bret's work. Papert here is not teaching children because of pedagogy but instead because he believes, as I do, that children and true experts see the world in the same way.

So that's really what I meant when I highlighted teaching children. Not changing school curricula (and I mean, who pretends today that schools are really in it to teach children anyway?) but instead connecting with minds like children sometimes are before they become afraid to learn.
