@Edent Summation: "The world is going to hell and I'm too busy watching TV to do anything about it."

@Edent @dariusdunlap counterpoint: it's okay to not learn everything by the time you graduate, so long as you don't stop learning.

@Edent I read a comment in a BBC article years ago and it stuck with me.
It’s easy to say things need to be done when you’re saying someone else should do it.
Just before Pi and Code Club were a thing I thought it would be good if kids had a chance to experience coding to see if they liked it.
So, I started after school club in my kids school.
Then when the Pi took off ran the Egham Jam for a bunch of years.
Stepped away now but agree if you want things to change be the agent for change. -
@Edent in other words: “But we certainly do not want that taught in schools.”

@Edent do they teach local democracy in schools? Few people seem to know what a councillor does or why canvassers knock on their doors… some act like it’s bordering on criminal to try to talk to them even though it’s really their civic duty to engage…

@rpin42 yes? That's what citizenship classes are / were.
Most schools receive visits from their local MP and councillors.
But, does a 14 year old care about something that isn't going to affect them for another 8 years? -

@Edent It would help if schools returned to teaching a required class in Civics.

@Travler for more information, please re-read.

@Edent If I have to be honest, I did not expect this exact answer, but OK, I respect your right to say no. Wasn’t the point of the open web the ability to freely repost and link back in forth, and thus, make sure that great content reaches all the corners of the Internet universe?

The point of the open web is that you can *link" to any resource.
I make *so much* of my stuff available as open source and copyleft. You are free to reuse all my code on GitHub, all the Creative Commons photos I publish on Flickr, and any of my openly licensed PodCasts.
But I don't want people taking my written words.
Feel free to link back to me or quote a suitable excerpt. But find your own words rather than copying mine, please.

@preslavrachev This is an interesting discussion (if somewhat awkward to have but inserting myself and not rebuking your decision to say no) .A thought experiment perhaps - Is not Federated content just copying with attribution ?
Would embedding a reference to your post federated to another server be the same?
