I was a music teacher for over 20 years. They kicked me out of public schools because I thought and taught like Ted does. I was asked to lower my standards and stop teaching so much. That was from the administration- the kids came back year after year and thanked me. Who's right? I am almost afraid to see my 4 year old grandson go to school, because he is very bright and creative. I'm afraid that schools will stifle who he is and what he brings to the world. This is tremendously sad. Today I am a business woman, who delights in the creative process of mortgage loans and music, art and poetry for my own pleasure. WHAT BOX? Listen to Ted- he is telling the absolute truth! This is absolutely correct in every way. I was a music teacher for over 20 years.

To develop educatinal systems should be one of the first things to do - now. The kid's themselves are more than ever "different" and I think they will no longer hear so much to authorities which try to give them their outdated rules. So if the systems do not change smoothly there will be a lot of unnecessary struggle. Unfortunately it seems so hard to open to new ideas and sometimes I have the impression that school teachers are the most resistant ones, or as our German poet Friedrich Schiller said already 200 years ago: "We need the ecucation of the educators!"
