Euan cites Richard Sambrook writing about John Chambers:
He said the current education system of grades and exams puts people in competition with each other and is a top down command-and-control model. As the leader of one of the world’s biggest IT companies he believes future education should concentrate on networking and collaboration – which will support greater innovation and corss-discipline creativity. It will also he said attract talent.
I often think we don’t realise the deepest lesson that our schools indvertently teach us – to be overly obedient to, and respectful of, authority – and not our own.
