I know you haven't, Jack. My point wasn't a critique of your post but simply
an attempt to show a revolution in the making with no focus on computers.
> I don't see teaching as anything but learning facilitation.
In principle this is exactly what they are trying to do here. They encourage
the "teachers" not to give answers to the children but to get them to find
the answers themselves. This is way different than teaching.

Here too it doesn't go without resistance. Many teachers and parents are
opposed to this "new" way.

Before I sent the last message I tried to find some documentation on the Web
but didn't even find adequate french descriptions. I'll try some more and
report back.
