Gladwell on Education

New Yorker writer and author (Blink & Tipping Point) Malcolm Gladwell spoke recently at the UW. He had two comments on education:

  • Students should wear uniforms
  • Math should be taught to each gender separately.
Video/audio clip and links here The clip is great as he provides a very useful example of inadvertent (or maybe not) gender bias.
