Some of it has been helpful; other advice has not been. Critics have pointed out that schools are not factories, and that learners cannot (and should not) be regarded as widgets.

		<description><![CDATA[Our school has been revisiting five pillars (understandings) that comprise our mission statement. One of them, &#8220;It&#8217;s never too late to learn,&#8221; has been dominating conversations this past week.
