This was really interesting, I was an English second language teacher in Taiwan in my 20's, I had young teenagers in a couple of my classes, I can remember their faces. And I have some experience of theory U. It was so interesting to see Taiwanese high school teachers interacting with these ideas. It is interesting how Confucian values are so dominant in the school system and with parents. Lao zi shuo "The great way cannot be achieved by striving"; when I was burnt out and frustrated by an innovation project not going the way I wanted it to, those words had a great impact on me!
