If education has anything to do with wisdom, with joy, with discernment, with a life worth living (and this last point is wide open to interpretation and may be the point of education), then your post has everything to with public schooling.

Not sure the Three Wise Men Arne, Eli, and Billy would agree.

If the point of the oven is to heat up the pizza, then no, it matters little how much the oven costs, and an Easy Bake oven is beautifully designed for its tasks.

(That is a wonderfully intense photo, too, my friend. In penance, I will send a letter and a horseshoe crab molt this week.)

Thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences of outdoor and online learning. From your writing I can see you are a passionate, dedicated and thoughtful teacher. I agree that it is more difficult to enable those ‘Whoa’ moments when we have such a closed curriculum, defined by cognitive standards and assessments.
