Brick in the wall

Last weekend I caught Lola designing a robotic teacher.

I suggested that she add a remote control with a mute and pause button. She liked that idea.

Like me, Lola is a very abstract and non-linear thinker. As a result she is incredibly bored and frustrated with the school system, which despite decades of efforts to the contrary is essentially a linear sausage factory.

Hence the image of the robotic teacher.

I tell Lola that we live in a world dominated by linear thinkers and, as painful as it is, she is best advised to figure out her own Rosetta stone by enduring the 15 or so years of schooling.
