My Dad wrote an interesting blog today about Difference. It made me wonder why humans are often so set on imposing rules and norms on others.  I can understand why we need some basic rules in society to regulate our interactions (no violence, no theft, stop at red lights, etc)  But so many demands seem to be about uniformity, about imposing a certain way of doing things, or of being, on others.  So often success in education and society is based on conformity. Maybe we should be teaching and celebrating difference from the start.  To start with we should get rid of all rote learning (nothing to do with the fact that I was really bad at it at school 😉 ).
