Someone needs to disrupt education from the current Industrial Age model to a more current Information Age model. I lean towards a self-paced video model like Khan Academy, with some personal instruction to answer questions, along with some group activities to socialize the children. Unfortunately, our government and union run education institutions resist any changes.
- siempreb 7y agoIt's even pre-industrial age model. School and its strict class system originate from the church. And I totally agree it should be disrupted by a more scientific proven model so kids can actually start to enjoy learning. The problem is that we have billions of people that were conditioned in traditional school. There is practically no way to change those peoples minds, whatever argument you come up with, it's futile. That's all the downvotes ;)
- joshuaheard 7y agoYou're right, there are some elements from the Agrarian Age, namely getting summers off to help with the harvest. But, if it's one thing I have learned, it's that anything can be disrupted!
