COP lecture: The Flipped Classroom

Richard's lecture on the concept of 'the flipped classroom' was absolutely fascinating, and raised a lot of interesting questions and ideas in my mind. One route I've been considering steering my COP project down is the question of whether or not it is the most excellent, the brightest students that are most failed by our Western state school system, with particular focus on the US and the United Kingdom. I'm definitely going to cheek out some of the reading material Richard suggested, and see if this can help me form a more whole idea. This lecture was also valuable as it questioned the very nature of education and arts education, both something I'm very interested in and will be seriously considering in the future.
