We need a cultural shift in how we think about what it means to learn because we’re shifting what you need to learn. Our society is changing in crazy, enormous ways now and in ways we don’t fully understand. This is one of the things that drives me crazy about the whole ed conversation: Instead of us having a conversation about what kind of society do we want to see for the next generation and how do we educate kids for that outcome, we’re assuming that we all agree on what they need to learn and then finding these utilitarian solutions to try to execute that.
Amen.
