Socialisation vs the others- Dave, I see this as the main point in the conflict between the three premises. They may not be directly in conflict but when you focus on one you may be precluding the others. If socialization is the aim, and the cultural norm is not to rise above others, then the educational environment will be in conflict with the aim of realizing individual potential. As a start, I think that we as a community or a society should articulate what we believe is of the greatest importance.
