3.1415.........

So I am not even sure how I came across this but think it crazy. This 12 year old kid memorized pi to 340 decimal places. To be honest I had to look up what came after 3.14 because I didnt even know to three decimal places. Here is the link : http://www.kcci.com/r/25845894/detail.html

"Why Johnny Can't Disobey"

So this article does bring up a very good point in that maybe students that are too obedient in schools can be a problem. Most people tend to follow other and do what they are told even if it is "wrong". This was proven in the experiment performed at Yale where most people did shock others because they were told to do so even though it brought harm to others. I do think this is article is a little out there. If being too obedient in the classroom is a problem then I think the teacher needs to be evaluated on what they are teaching because as long as they are teaching appropriate things then there shouldn't be anything wrong with a student being too obedient. However as teachers I think we should give these kind of students more freedom that way they can make decisions on their own and are not so dependent on doing exactly what they are told. I think personally that most people would be able to make a better decision between right and wrong rather than just doing something because they were following someone such as a leader of a cult especially since people are more knowledgeable on the past situations that have occurred such as the Holocaust and Jonestown.
