4) Is there a potential problem being stored up for people if 'education' is tailored to fit into their cultural and personal preferences?

I believe that there would be a problem because i do not believe that the educational system can with stand or adapt to such a change! "And therein lies the rub. The current pressure on schools to perform well in the national curriculum tests and on the 5 A*-C's at GCSE measure, will make flexibility of assessment hard to achieve." Although it would be good to have a change from the mondain settings of an hour long lesson with a teacher that could be the most un-appealing person in the world! Coming from me a person with ADHD, i believe that this would be a very good change because at secondary school you could probably imagine that i was a handfull for some teachers, being the hyper bugger that i am, and this was due to me not being able to concentrate in some classes because of the appeal of the teacher and the content of the lesson. However, i was able to concentrate within classes that interested me on a clutural and personal level, i didnt realise this at the time because i was in a world of hyperness!

Its not that i dont agree with the changes and improvements that personal learning could bring to the students, i just dont believe that the national system for schools could with stand such a change. I feel that students could take the change because children are not as "set in their ways" as the teachers that could range from 25 to 70. Children are more adaptable to change. So this 'problem' building up would be for the teachers and how flexible they are to sucha dramatic change.
