Wonderful blog entry.

There is also a great deal of education psychology that supports the points here.

Psychologist Hugh Mackay has written on this subject, using the analogy of a cage. The bars represent the values, views etc that form such a cage. A healthy cage exists when a person regularly reviews and reconstructs their bars.

An unhealthy cage is one that restricts the light and air from ‘mussing’ through our minds, preventing it from affecting sustainable change, diminishing our learning.
