We are engaged in fill-in-the-blank schooling.
-
We are living a schooling delusion. Do we really believe that our schools inspire our children to live a life of thoughtfulness, imagination, empathy, and social responsibility?
-
Far more than reading to learn, our children are learning to hate reading. More than learning any of the content, they learn to hate learning.
-
Our nation is afflicted with a dearth of educational imagination, a lack of pedagogical courage, and rampantanti-intellectualism. Our schools should be think tanks and fountains of creativity, but most of them are vacuum chambers.
-
Passive schooling creates passive people. If we want people to think, learn, and care about the many dimensions of life, if we want neighbors who accept the responsibility of tending to the world and working to make it a better place, then we need schools and curricula that are actually about life and the world. Instead, we have schools that prepare children to think likea toaster.
