I guess I never really got into reading blogs, more of just writing them!

I think you’re completely right. We start teaching our children that it’s not acceptable to fail so early that their desire not to fail trumps everything else. We definitely see this when they get into the workforce.

One of the areas in which we’ve bastardized our concepts of success and failure is in education. Our focus in this country is grades rather than learning. We all know the reasons why, but it doesn’t change the fact that we dwarf learning, creativity, and innovation by refusing to accept academic failure or even mediocre performance.

We also tend to blame the teachers rather than place accountability – personal accountability – with the students.

(Ties in to your post on “treat adults like adults and you get adults” a bit. Treat students like learners (not multiple choice experts), and you’ll get learners.

i really like the lay out of your site. I am new to WordPress and just kind of getting my feet wet. I am using YouTube tutorials to get the hang of it. Any other suggestions

I believe that if we never scared, embarrassed, hurt or FAIL, It means we never take chances!

Comment on Bye bye, Delicious… by Andrew Jung

Stacks are completely useless.
The fact that tags are now “optional” means that delicious will slowly lose its search-ability and find-ability. Do I really want to look through hundreds of stacks rather than just one scrolling page of links based on my search of a tag?

I don’t think so…

And the fact that they dropped the forums for open feedback just underscores the fact that they really don’t care to have criticism about their direction.

Don’t get me started about the lost of my tag bundles either or the ability to be able to copy a set of tags from one saved link to another similar one.

Until just recently I used http://delicious.com/post to save my links which still used the old page saving method, but that is now gone and replaced by the retarded stack focused one.

Argh!
