I Reject The Notion That

In Every Part Of The World With Which I Am Familiar, Young People Are Completely Immersed In The Digital World - So Much So, That It Is Inconceivable To Them That They Can, For Long, Be Separated From Their Devices. Indeed, Many Of Us Who Are Not Young, Who Are 'digital Immigrants' Rather Than 'digital Natives,' Are Also Wedded To, If Not Dependent On, Our Digital Devices.

Teaching Which Ignores The Realities Of Children Will Be Rejected As Surely As Any Graft Which Attempts To Ignore The Body's Immune System.

Being Creative Means First Of All Doing Something Unusual... On The Other Hand, However Unusual It May Be, The Idea Also Has To Be Reasonable For People To Take It Seriously.

Creativity Begins With An Affinity For Something. It's Like Falling In Love.

A Good Person Is One Who Follows The Ten Commandments And The Golden Rule. There Is Plenty Of Precedent In History To Guide Us And We Probably Evolved To Be Sensitive To Bible-golden Rule Situations. But The Dilemmas Faced By A Worker - A Journalist, An Architect, An Auditor - Or By A Citizen (what Position To Take On Stem Cell Research, Whether To Run For Office, What Is The Proper Balance Between Taxation And Social Nets) - Are Not Questions That Can Be Answered By Traditional Texts Or Precedents.
