question for me to ponder about learning..

What counts as learning? In the current public discourse of ever-narrowing
definitions of learning, achievement, and educational value, ethnographic
research offers powerful evidence that not everything that matters is being
counted. Ethnographers of education around the world continue to reveal the
importance and complexity of social, cultural, and linguistic life in schools,
of processes of learning, and of the intricate relationships upon which it
depends. How can we make accounts of this complexity heard within a popular
discourse and public policy that seem ever more committed to simplifying
definitions and solutions?
