[community] "The Educational Tyranny of the Neurotypicals" (Joi Ito)

[Harnum, Alan]

A recent Joi Ito article: https://www.wired.com/story/tyranny-neurotypicals-unschooling-education/

I am personally wary of the purposes to which the “schooling is from the industrial age” rhetoric is often put (http://www.longviewoneducation.org/field-guide-jobs-dont-exist-yet/ is a good backgrounder on why) and it’s rather pervasive in the article, but there are some very interesting points in it, including some statistics about neuroatypicality.
