Perhaps one answer to the author's question is related to what you point out -- how we often ignore or undervalue alternative forms of learning in educational environments. This NY Times article raises lots of interesting points, but the author (Patterson) keeps returning to why black men struggle to do well in school. It seems interesting that the school system or learning system itself is not really taken to task by Patterson. Anyway, a point of contact. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/26/opinion/26patterson.html?ex=1144386000&en=57f31ba493a86dc9&ei=5070&emc=eta1 This article (A Poverty of the Mind) made me think of your post.
