Seven Lessons Taught in School - by John Taylor Gatto | Wanderings

No common school that actually dared to teach the use of critical thinking tools -- like the dialectic, the heuristic, or other devices that free minds should employ -- would last very long before being torn to pieces. School has become the replacement for church in our secular society, and like church it requires that its teachings must be taken on faith.

SpeEdChange

The Carnegie Unit lives with us today - truly, nothing structural has changed in US education since 1910. We still measure academics via seat time. We count our credits - both at the secondary and post-secondary level - by hours spent "in instruction" on specified subjects. Does it cripple us? Does it truly block reform? Does it prevent interdisciplinary instruction or open schooling?

Urgent Call to White House for Teens – Brain Leaders and Learners

  • In contrast,  the rampant unchecked anger and frustration felt
    in many secondary school communities literally robs a community’s currency such
    as creativity, talent, and innovation.  Teens come to class daily with
    amazing mental resources such as natural drugs of choice for
    turbulent times    , and multiple intelligences.  Secondary teachers
    possess outmoded skills and so are unable exchange students’ lived experiences
    into dividends that will fund their futures.

  • the skills that are easiest to teach and test are also the ones that are
    easiest to digitize and outsource


    It’s the change underlying these tools that I’m trying to emphasize. Forget
    blogs…think open dialogue. Forget wikis…think collaboration. Forget
    podcasts…think democracy of voice. Forget RSS/aggregation…think personal
    networks. Forget any of the tools…and think instead of the fundamental
    restructuring of how knowledge is created, disseminated, shared, and validated.

    the world today is about being able to do what you were NOT taught to do


    As Stephen Heppell says, our biggest challenge is not being audacious
    enough


    1:1 is not 4 times better than 4:1 [computer to student ratios]


    guess who leads the public debate in education today? It is journalists and
    politicians. It is about time we took the lead in setting the terms of that
    debate

How could new ideas change education?
How can younger generations learn from the body of work of their successors?
How can we marry up all the great resources of people who know something great to those of us who could stand to learn more?
How can I help those of us who lived in the cubicle farms, and what can I do to share that information in a way that will empower others?
How can we equip our youth and/or our students and/or our business professionals?

How Could New Ideas Change Education

  • not afraid of being disrupted need to figure out a new teacher-student
    relationship,
  • We are not yet seeing a mass uprising of parents who "get it" and insist that
    their children be given opportunities to "get it" as well... but you're a
    parent, right? It's coming.
    • exactly essential. When nodes question hubs bottom up, change will start. Class action may be too rich, but if my kids were not exposed to quality learning while others were, I'd question, loudly. - on 2009-11-29

How Could New Ideas Change Education

’ve no idea where I will go with this in the larger context. I just wanted to put the thoughts out there. I’m curious as to what you’re thinking about it.

How can we build new learning models? How can we equip our youth and/or our students and/or our business professionals? How do we share what we’ve learned with these new tools? How do we equip our kids to do something with all we’ve learned from social media?
