I suppose our public school educational system offers 'free delivery' to students, though I'm not confident that the 'product' is always of high quality nor is it always offered in a customer-friendly way. Overall, content delivery remains traditional and teacher/material-centric, rather than allowing for interaction, individual differences, and learner-centered options.

In a conversation with a colleague today, I questioned why we were doing things 'the way we always have' since there appeared to be options that might better serve our customers in alternate ways. The defensive stance was expected and deflated with a focus on our learners. Though a progressive and proactive decision was not to be, at least there was conversation and a possibility for follow up! 3rd St & 12th Ave S, Naples, FL
