Ideas

Every educational system is pervaded with unstated assumptions about culture, morality, and other factors that do not show up in the formal curriculum. If we are not aware of these assumptions, we risk colliding with them and having our offerings rejected or coopted to serve ends that we may not approve of. This is a large and difficult question with a growing literature and several quite disparate communities of interest with quite different views on what is appropriate or desirable.
