    A reply on Talk: John Hardy: My green school dream

    Nov 20 2010: I hate to admit that at this moment what Evan said is true. Designing a completely free education model is still a very challenging task.
    But if there is a school model that needs our support to be free (or almost free), it must be the green school model! Because free green schools will deliver far greater impact. Educating ALL children to SAVE our planet. Now that was beautiful.
    Well, perhaps we could start by reducing the cost, say, by developing the locals? Work on the scholarship system so the local students who get them end up taking care of the school or something. Geez, I really want this to work.

    A comment on Talk: John Hardy: My green school dream

    Nov 19 2010: Being an Indonesian, I was surprised (and honestly, quite embarrassed) to learn about this school first time from TED. I and my family have been to Bali, but no one there mentioned anything about a green school. Why?
    After watching the talk, I think I get a glimpse of the reason. There were only too few locals involved! The green school is probably popular among expatriates only, because of the obvious causes. Local residents don't have enough money to attend the class, or skills to teach. Even though they are the people who truly understand what it means to be 'green'. This is saddening.
    Surely I love the idea of a green school. Who wouldn't? It just feels alarming that the nature has become so expensive, even to those around them. And even education in this package is still unreachable to many.

    A comment on Talk: Conrad Wolfram: Teaching kids real math with computers

    Nov 18 2010: I think Mr Wolfram laid the problem clearly enough when he said that the skills should be spread among people. Relying too much on computers to do calculation is just as bad as relying on hands and papers.

    There's a reason why Yamaha won MotoGP with Rossi as the driver and Burgess as the mechanic, not the other way around. We need drivers (point 1,2,4) as much as we do engineers (roughly point 3). They just have they own roles. Yet the current system educates too many engineers to sit in the driving seat.

    At this moment, I still don't believe in a single idea of perfect education system. But this talk certainly have added something valuable to the pool.
