Implementation

  The little dancing girl had some advantages, including a concerned mother willing and able to take her daughter to see a specialist, and the ability to enroll in a school for dancers.  This story suggests that Mr. Robinson leaves it up to us to fill in the gap of applying what he preaches.  

  For me, in general (not necessarily only for this class), I would like more chill discussion in class (and out of class) which would of course take some time from the timepie, I'd like to move more in class (I rarely stand during class discussions), to learn as a group for more time out of class (e.g. field trips), and for education to focus more on being holistic. 

  Still, implementation seems to be a challenge.  Theory is great though, and also very motivating.  Is it enough to motivate people so that baby steps can be taken, e.g. encouraging students to be sure to stretch and/or exercise before class?  Maybe.  A mass overhaul though; could it work?  I think not.
