Good evening, Shifters,

My brother-in-law sent me an thoughtful article about the changing landscape of the art of teaching, and it reminded me a lot of what CTRL Shift is trying to accomplish. I'll let you decide if you agree or not. What really made me think is his (my brother-in-law, not the author) conclusion that if we were to teach learning as a skill (as opposed to content mastery as an end-game), we would have a much better foundation to relate to each other, and thereby allow "empathy to emerge" (his words, I cannot take credit for it).
