The Future of Education - Why We're Here and Where We Need to Go Things To Think On

    • Society & Culture

Our modern education system still resembles the industrial age, taking kids off for a full day of lessons, moving around at the sound of a bell, teaching discipline and conformity. While we have many great educators and administrators working to improve what we have, many of the problems are the fault of the system itself and its foundations. It was built for a different time with different needs.

We need to reimagine education, making it more local, flexible, and personal. We need to allow families the ability to choose more how they educate their kids, support our teachers, utilize technology, and personalize so each student can get the most out of what they learn.
