Beyond narrative education
I enjoyed reading 'The Habit of Thought' - a sign that the author had some enjoyment in writing this book. And I found many points to relate to my own education.

I enjoyed most the discussion of teaching mathematics, physics and science from a Socratic discussion view point, rather than the conventional dictation most of us recieved for as many years as I can remmeber. I did not recieve true Socratic education until later graduate education at the doctoral level in this country.

Furthermore, Mr.Strong's point that most software and manuals theses days require a new conceptual understanding from the reader, bears notice. A true understanding of many of our current practices in our information society requires achieving a higher conceptual level of thought. Socratic process may hold the key to more quickly and successfully teaching children, than the current methods geared to just more focused narrative educational methods of more money and better student to teacher ratios.
