  1. Implementing Expectations: The Firewall in the Mind SCHOOL'S OUT? A CONVERSATION WITH SEYMOUR PAPERT “Many of these things are so associated with school that it is hard for people to shake them off. I give talks about this sort of thing to educators and at the end they say, "Well exactly how is the computer going to help me teach fourth-grade math?" And that's exactly the wrong question -- there's not going to be a "fourth-grade." There's not going to be a separate math class. There's not going to be teaching.” Source: http://memex.org/meme2-13.html Vance Stevens, 2001
