Commentary by Stephen Downes

Some good stuff in this post written by a soon-to-b marginal high school graduate. "We're so used to being told who we can or cannot be, many us don't even know who we actually want to be. All the education in the world is worthless if you never unlock what makes your heart beat." Be sure to read the dozsens of comments. Via Diigo.
