I think it's fairly unique to define the end goal of K-12 schooling as helping students become better thinkers, more creative thinkers, and to organize the whole school around creative and critical thinking.

One of the biggest reasons that teachers have trouble with student-centered learning is that they have to give over a level of control to the kids. And, when you do that, you can have chaos, or you can have high levels of learning. Often, teachers are afraid of the chaos.

If student A 'impacts' student B with a fist, they shouldn't 'dialogue as equals.' Student A should be disciplined. When you assault your co-worker or curse out your boss, you don't get a 'restorative circle' - you get fired.

To me, that is really fundamental to social justice: to have choices in life.

Politicians are terrified of losing touch with folks back home but content to be clueless about government's failure to fix real problems.

Under the doctrine of separation of powers, the manner in which the president personally exercises his assigned executive powers is not subject to questioning by another branch of government.

You've got to have free markets with limited government, with the proper amount of regulation where you don't jam entrepreneurship.

In the democracy of the dead all men at last are equal. There is neither rank nor station nor prerogative in the republic of the grave.
