What Alphabet Is About
Erwin Wagenhofer opened his trilogy with the trade in food and continued it with the trade in money; he gave the last part to education. The claim is blunt: school as it now stands files down a child’s imagination, creativity and capacity to think independently, and leaves an economically productive person behind. Ken Robinson opens the film with that thesis, and Wagenhofer then looks at systems from China to Europe and at the price competition extracts from children. It reads less like a documentary than a written objection. Even if you reject the thesis, the question stands: who is school for?
