Unencumbered time and enchantment … why can’t we have more of that in our schools? Oh right, it’s because we’re too busy cramming vital content into our poor students’ heads … and then crushing their spirits as we drag them through high-stakes tests. The worst of it is that after 13 years of this, we complain that students have no enthusiasm for learning, when our counterproductive system of education is responsible.

About Santo D'Agostino
I am a former university prof, having taught mathematics and physics since the mid 1980s. I have also been a textbook writer/editor since then. Currently I am working independently on a number of writing and education projects.
I love math and physics, and love teaching and writing about them. My blog also discusses education, science, environment, etc. http://qedinsight.wordpress.com
