janreynolds: “You never change something by fighting the existing reality. To change something build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” Buckminster Fuller I’ve been pushing new models with education, and giving hours, weeks worth of work of my time doing this, yet need to be making income for my family!! But I feel so passionate about changing our education model, it feels worth it to me. I’ve pulled oof a free, live webinar from Bali, in the field, in real time with the world’s expert on rice farming, answering questions live for students 5 to 18 in age, how cool is that? Then had photos and info up on FB all week prior concerning the sustainable farming on Bali, the subject of my award winning book, CYCLE OF RICE. I did some skyping to classrooms too. Now I’ve just finished a grant to the National Science Foundation to turn this book into an online computer game, so students can play and learn, and NEVER need to take a test! How cool is that? I’m working dilligently to create a new model to make the old, “read a book, take a test” model obsolete. Thanks Bucky, I like your advice.
