Responding to Scott McLeod challenge.
When it comes to education, I say we have to stop pretending…
When it comes to education, I say we have to stop pretending…
- That it's OK for the majority of students to leave high school believing they are not good learners;
- That it is OK to believe anything less than in the inherent worth and value of every child;
- That schooling as it now exists is about increasing individual learning capability and not actually about enforcing compliance and conformance;
- That it's OK that politicians, the elite, and business-people have more influence over education than local parents, teachers, and the students themselves;
- That students are not capable of directing their own learning, and that this isn't the ultimate goal of education.
From Scott: Please join us. When it comes to education, what are 5 things that we have to stop pretending? Post on your blog, tag 5 others, and share using the #makeschooldifferent hashtag. Feel free to also put the URL of your post in the comments area so others can find it!
From Me: Add the hashtag #reclaimlearning.
