Complexity in Education (3)

Educational scene is a complex mixture of positive and negative feedbacks, as each teacher tries to align her/his spin in parallel with certain of her/his neghbors and opposite to all the rest. Each teacher will always have to endure a certain amount of frustration at having to align with neighbors that she/he doesn't want to be aligned with, but, by the same token, there are a vast number of ways to arrange the spins so that the frustration is reasonably tolerable for everyone---a situation describe as “local equilibrium.”
