A very interesting person: non-conventional priest with good-developed
conscience and many original ideas. His arguments against school -- I
feel, I'm more or less agreed. BTW, I'm working as teacher
(computing/informatic) and I see every day, that all the bad things,
about what did write I. Illich, are living and had a good health today.
Well, but I can't be agreed to his ideas about childhood; my point of view
is, the child is child at the same.

Well, I don't trust in WWW, not so very much; here I'm talking about
teaching in WWW. All those courses in web: at first seemed as effective
and innovatory, but when we are thinking about quality of education? And
how to control those knowledge? Test? Testing to control knowledge is
ridiculous at all, in my mind. It means, the occasion rules! And when
everywhere are working occasionally people... Bureaucrats are rejoice and
feel, they are very-very needful! To rule superficial commonwealth.
