"Courage is...

not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point." C.S. Lewis.
I have found Tom's discussions here extremely interesting but I have to say I'm a little unsettled. Not meaning to pick on Aly because I think she's great but I want to quote her "I did a quick poll - 54 "common" people...7 of them knew how to answer your question." Some people gave an answer but it wasn't Tom's answer. Isn't that part of what makes America great? Tom can have his opinion and so can they. I truly enjoy discovering Tom's views but I may not necessarity agree with all of them. Remember diversity is a wonderful thing. To put it bluntly, I find Tom's opinions intelligent, informed and insightful. But let's not forget that those are his opinions and that those who disagree are not automatically wrong.
Tom, my question for you is what educational system would you implement and what goals would you have for this system.
Respectfully, Laura
