Graham spent much of his time preparing for his Zoom interview with an Albuquerque charter school, 2:30 p.m. Albuquerque time, 10:30 p.m. Cairo time. The school used the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and the Paideia method. He was learning a lot. He really liked the 10 attributes valued by IB World Schools, although he would add an 11th attribute and that would be something like, “Imagineers.”
The imagination is extremely important and it should be used like a muscle. Everyone should practice using their imagination. Einstein is often quoted as having said that Imagination is more important than knowledge. Graham found this to be true.
