Before we start reforming education...

We need to do a lot more observing, and thinking about it, and observing again, and thinking about it, and listening to people who know and thinking it again, coming to terms with WHAT IS, and a lot less imposing from the top down of ill thought out, one sided unfeeling ideas resurrected from the past in the desperate hope that we can improve things and have an education system we are proud of.

Some clues for example:
What is a child, at each age and stage, who is he, what does she do, what are they doing, yes, what is are they really doing, what is going on, what does he want, what goes wrong, what does she bring with her, what is wonderful..? (observe think observe read, get guidance think observe).

What does humanity need, how is it evolving, what problems are there to overcome (there are a few), think observe, read, get insight, observe think observe...(need not greed).
