The brick and mortar school, as represented by the stapler, is in a state of flux. It is The Basics, the select sum of everything we've learned and have been doing. Of late it finds itself in upheaval, a nebulous cloud of tangentially related "improvement" efforts having arrived on the scene. Lots of people like Jello--it tastes good, it changes the way the stapler works, and it's different. Others don't; well-meaning but tradition-bound teachers find it suffocating. The Jello is not interested in fixing the stapler; it only mandates that the stapler define a new agenda.
