Walled gardens are no substitute for the real thing
around here we work very hard to make sure students don’t publish anything during school and overreact when we discover they’ve done it elsewhere.
Of course, many in our system will tell you that we do provide the tools for students to learn these skills. They come in the form of various “walled gardens”, resources which kids understand are artificial and far underpowered compared those they have available in their real world.
