Every time we make a mistake, our brain opens to #learning.
National schools humiliate children. A motivation is that its role is to justify the social status assigned to each.
Other forms of learning, on the other hand, have no meritocratic mission: children can learn for themselves.

"Right Here, Right Now" is a song by British #alternativeRock band #JesusJones from their second studio album, #Doubt (1991). It was released as the album's second single on 24 September 1990. Although it spent only nine nonconsecutive weeks on the #UKSinglesChart, peaking at number 31, it became a top-10 hit in the United States; it topped the #Billboard #ModernRockTracks chart and reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 1991.
