You might (or might not) have noticed that the books and articles reflected on my Reading List have taken a turn towards this topic. These include required reading for the University of Phoenix faculty certification process in addition to stuff I’m reading for “fun.”

I’m pretty sure I’m not the first person to think what I think, even if the bulk of traditional education flies in the face of principles of human development.
