Ideas are usually a mutual endeavour...
@freeschool Thanks for the poke to get me to respond :)
I am getting older and have worked in fields where they has been "controversy." Early on, my interest as an undergraduate was science education, specifically issues like evolution/ creationism, addressing pseudoscience, etc. Later in life, I have been interested in responding to myths in education (e.g. learning styles).
What I have learned is that many ideas that are seen as "cutting edge" by a new generation were throughly debunked in earlier generations (Stephen Jay Gould's response the The Bell Curve is a favorite example).
How we respond to tired old ideas matters. I am hopeful a new generation will push back on them, because I am trying to use my time left to explore what makes me curious.
Ideas are usually a mutual endeavour...
@freeschool 1- Y, 2-Y, 3-Y

@garyackerman Ok - I read that as a small chance in some way... ( not totally hermit yet!...) and I think as final effort on my part may I send you my "best of" ideas in a small audio recording (sent privately here) explaining those "best of" ideas by voice because I think this will convey my efforts a lot better.
Won't mind resigning after and calling my endeavour of checking with you complete :)
Finding people of certain calibre is hard...
(so is it OK if I send you an audio file to play whenever you like?)

@garyackerman Elated to hear back and sentiments received.
As a quick check Y/N or Maybe...
Do I read you correctly:
1- you might be looking to improve education if it gets results more obviously?
2- At this stage in life you are leaving it to next generation more often (while posting messages collected from your notes from the past online for people to learn from instead)?
3- You prefer not to do the same old and looking for new ways?
( Y/N/Maybe is fine )
