LOL. Funny, that. Take him along with me on adventures, ensuring that he's always got schooling covered... I've been thinking alot about that lately. He's with me on 5 nights every 2 weeks, 3 of those on the weekend. 

 

Not to say he doesn't have schooling covered, but freeing up an extra 10k a month or so would help a bit! 

school fees, its an issue.

 

But, at a recent school function had a chat with the headmaster. His insights were brilliant. His basic take was that the current school model at junior and primary school is getting outdated and needs to change.

 

It should not longer focus on "teaching" information, but skill sets. Teach skills and the rest will follow. The basic premise being how do you teach kids for careers that dont yet exist, or will change within the next 5 yrs. And in that moment I realised my the school fees were worth it.

 

If your lad can blog and program and ride a bike. His life will be fine.

Who's history will be taught? or out of who's point of view?

Yip, because education is not the goal, political point scoring is.

 

Cadre deployment has to be the own goal of the century, they should teach that in schools.

Well I think it’s inline with what’s become the generally accepted opinion (even though not perfect).

 

EBikes cool for trips and rides, races no.

 

The infrastructure in and around races hasn’t yet been able to find a way to accommodate them yet. I’m sure this will change soon.
