"there are a huge number of people . . . unable to recognize that it is the structure of the system itself that is ultimately destructive to genuine understanding and creativity."

Include me among those people. Please, then, explain why. I'm not being snide here, I truly want to hear the argument. The article cited by Borodog was about a particular teacher who is a stickler for organization. I've known many teachers--both my own and those who taught my kids, and noth in public and private schools--who were the same way and were wonderful teachers.

I think he was talking about evolution vs. intelligent design. in evolution there is a system of thought that can be expanded upon, the whole scientific process/method, whereas ID just boils down to "this is how it is, because <somebody> says so".
