Organic Education? When?

Other than ‘standard’ western education is mostly focused on the development of ‘individual potential’. Instead of a linear path to collectively follow, though an organic, personal path. This sounds great, though most initiatives disappear after extra start-up funding stops, it’s simply too expensive. The one’s which stay standing look perfect, though miss out on a few thinking skills I believe. ‘Special Education’ get’s standard more finance as the children there need ‘special’ attention. This group grows like crazy, but that’s another story…
The new buzzword is ‘organic education’, individual learning paths, how are we going to finance it sustainably? Ofcourse computers etc will help to cover costs on guidance. But it’s not JUST an evolution on educational material. Yes, Ken Robinson his talk inspired me, it’s greatly motivational and puts the finger on the problem and the challenge, though what is the solution. In the latest Apple in school campaign you see OIPC, or One IPod Per Child supports the idea of individual paths and books success on learning motivation and achievements.
There are all kinds of success stories around the world, starts of ‘revolution’ and somehow it all needs to get together. As teachers opt-out, children are bored and parents are worried, how fast can the ‘switch’ take place?
