  17. “…with good learning materials, effective networks, and proper support, students can learn better at home than in class.”Sir John Daniel, 1997

  18. Children • are trying to do something rather than to know something • are learning by doing • control their learning by using an adult to guide them through new areas of investigation—one-on-one assistance, as-needed basis

  19. Natural Learning • occurs when the person really wants to know something • not compatible with lockstep classrooms, rigid curricula, or measurable by multiple choice tests • When information enters memory that in no way relates to goals that the possessor of the information may want to accomplish, it is quickly forgotten because there is no meaningful place for it to reside.

  20. Public School • learn what someone else wants them to learn—teacher and curriculum goals • no longer learn because they want to • emphasis on rote learning, standardized curriculum • success: not being able to do, but being able to function within the system • In school, knowing becomes uncoupled from doing
