  May 12 2013: Thank you. This is my point, as we point our fingers at legislative and school, we must not forget us, our PERSONAL responsibility. It sometime seems like there are two agendas regarding the talks on education revolution - one is looking for non-standardized system while another is looking for the best babysitter for our kids.
  
  Lizanne, I like to encourage you to actively inspire other parents through your example.

  May 12 2013: Sure, I would like to hear him say explicitly that Education is beyond schooling. It seems like talks of education revolution are attempting to standardize "un-standardized" form of schooling, which was why I mentioned a look at out-of-classroom education. This mean you and I would begin to take responsibility of educating kids in our communities rather than expecting teachers as the only educators.
