Time: How to Bring Our Schools Out of the 20th Century

December 11, 2006 By Will Richardson

So here are Time’s recommendations:

1. Teach kids more about the world.
2. Think outside the box.

3. Become smarter about new sources of information.

4. Develop good people skills. (Communicate, collaborate)

We can do that.

    Imagine if any of us had the courage to actually say what we would do.

    Are you as tired as I am of empty platitudes and populist slogans?

    We would all be well-advised to read or re-read one of Seymour Papert’s books.
