I think there's a need for some clarification of terminology here.
"Learning" may be social or independent; but "education" (that is,
teaching-and-learning) is fundamentally social. The question asked
has to do with a teacher's decision to implement collaborative
learning in an education setting. In this context, Larry's point is
not rebutted by evidence of "independent" learning.
