GK VanPatter: Well that path through the forest is one with many implications. It is a disruptive path that would not sync well with the many systems within education already in place.
Richard Saul Wurman: In fact many things are done to do just the opposite.

Many of the systems in place are actually antithetical to how people find the joy of learning.
