I'm not posting this to put down education but more for the bit on ADD. I love what he has to say about this. It's worth watching and funny too.

Wonderful, wonderful.

I have a ds who is a born musician, drummer, poet, dancer, rapper...I think about him in PS and wonder how he could possibly cope in a situation where drumming on the desk or the need to move or rhyme or draw for hours will get him into big trouble.

That was great.

Reminds me of the works of Thomas Armstrong and Howard Gardner who write about Multiple Intelligences (and how typical public schools don't acknowledge other MIs.

Thank you so much for that link. It's a great talking point.
