Ultimately, I tend to look at education + parenting – two places where countless children have been discouraged from asking questions or thinking creatively, and this is what we have to change among other things. Instead of throwing out the critical-judgmental reactions to kids not knowing something, we throw out testing as the solution instead of throwing out crappy parenting or teaching.
I believe those of us who see, have a kind of moral obligation (not in a religious sense) to constantly raise others’ consciousness – but as gently as we can stand it, so we don’t make them feel threatened. And for our own sanity and peace, we need to accept (or maybe I’m wrong) that it’s a lifetime job
