I was curious. What is learning like in one of the most prominent technological hubs in the world. John Taylor Gatto and some extra research led me to some answers
At Silicon Valley, learning happens in a very different way. Some of the points of differentiation are:-
1) Students learn to start real life projects that add value to life. They are evaluated by the number of projects they start and not the grades or certificates they get.
2) People are comfortable with failure in Silicon Valley and very often the more you fail there, the more you increase your chances of success.
3) “The cult of individual effort is found all over Silicon Valley, standing in sharp contrast to leadership practices based on high SAT scores, elite college degrees, and sponsorship by prominent patrons.” John Taylor Gatto
4) “The Valley judges people on their tangible contributions rather than on sex, seniority, old-school ties, club memberships, or family” – John Taylor Gatto
Let us learn together
