Teaching: Hunters and Farmers

This article from Seth Godin makes a great distinction between hunters and farmers. The different types of people should be acknowledged when marketing, hiring, and teaching.

He points out that, "that medicating kids who might be better at hunting so that they can sit quietly in a school designed to teach farming doesn't make a lot of sense."

Diversity is what makes the world interesting, maybe we just need to learn how to appreciate and gear our message.
