Our Education Needs a Revolution

Last week was a lot of fun. Thanks for letting me share my boy. Next Monday, it will be Mia’s turn, but for today and the remainder of this week, I’m turning my eye to education.

For the first post in this series, I’m using video as the following five minutes articulate many of my thoughts with a precision I don’t believie I could manage. The video spans the spectrum of the problem in a broad manner, but I’d like to look it in the eye on a more intimate level starting tomorrow.

Our classrooms are antique, fully stocked with decrepit tools unsuitable to building a modern metropolis for emerging minds. Old broken systems are yielding sporadic and splintered results. This will only lead to a fraction of our possible future.

We are not working nearly as hard or as smart as we need to.

I’ve kept my distance from this subject, but it’s one of larger bodies to orbit my universe and well deserving of more of my attention.

Tell me what you think.
