"Any attempt to remake the entire educational system from
the top down will fail, because top-down mandates are, by nature, rooted in the
class model--relying on dictates and regulations from non-teaching experts, and
compliance by the technicians in the field.
"If all schools and teachers adopt
truly great education in this fashion they will bring the entropy of
bureaucracy, big-ness, systemization, and institutionalism into the mix.
"In other words, when passion
and inspiration are structured, systemized and enforced, they lose their
passion and inspirational qualities and become instead forced--or at best,
manipulative.
"For great education to occur, students must chose to study
long, hard and effectively because they genuinely love it."
