Thoughtful, hilarious question: does education, especially our current test-frenzied system, overlook some of the real creativity that fuels the minds of "unmotivated" youth?
Gentlemen. Ladies. Welcome to the fantastic and fabulous concoction of one Mr. E-rock Kursman.
I know I already bookmarked and favorited this page. Why? Because this is a grand opportunity for modern communication. As the simple philosophies state, this site's all about Collaboration, Conversation and Challenge. Well, seeing as it's my civic duty to challenge people into having conversations with me, I present this inaugural nugget: The first video post... on this blog.
Think about it.
In it's own, oddball way, this clip from "Ed Wood" says it all about this site. They work together. The challenge each other. They discuss ideas with other.
1) Collaboration: With only one author, you close off opportunities to expand on ideas and perspectives. With multiple authors, you open the door to for more content, conversation, points of view, and creativity. The more contributors, the better.
2) Conversation: Everyone deserves a platform to intelligently discuss issues and ideas and engage in thoughtful, informative conversation. Oh yeah, and links to the newest, hilarious video clip. This is that platform.
3) Challenge: Life without challenge, especially mental challenge, is empty. Take the time to read ideas from important thinkers, investigate opposing or alternative rationale, and send your brain to the 'gym'. Just because school's out doesn't mean we have to stop challenging our brains.
