In other words, to my mum, we are all computer experts, to me, hardly any of us really is, no matter what others think of us.

You're absolutely right. I hate being referred to as an expert as I'm forever learning new things in this field that I'm supposed to be an expert in. The dictionary definition of an expert is: "a person who has a comprehensive and authoritative knowledge of or skill in a particular area". When is it comprehensive enough to carry the expert label? IMHO, you're almost never an expert. Emil Jung wrote a brilliant somewhat related post: http://emiljung.co.za/?p=7072 Dude, I cannot agree with you more. You’re absolutely right.

I saw a program on television a while ago. The system they have is really amazing. Small classes. Teachers are merely there to assit and guide. Most of the children do very well in maths and science. Think the key is in small classes and highly qualified teachers. That was the two main elements that stood out. They also allow the children to explain things to each other while the teacher listen and correct if necessary. This is correct! I saw a program on television a while ago.

What stuck with me is the lesson that we all are part of the 100%, and that divisions we make are based on superficial structures. I enjoyed reading this.
