  1. Our current education system is outdated and only serves elites who want obedient workers. Having more schools like this would be an improvement for sure.

  2. While your idea of making the education system more tailored to one's own curiosity is a good one, it does not seem available to the wide general population who are paying taxes to their individual school districts to get free public education. I don't know the cost model for a consumer for this type of education system but I can tell it is not the most economical one.

  3. Going back to badics… Apprenticeships will be back… Very quickly.

    Stand next to the pro and learn. I was learning how to cut hair at 12 years old in a BARBER SHOP… Shaving men with a straight razor at 14 and opened mybown shop at 21 years old…

    NEVER went to school.
    All apprenticeship with ONE man. Nooney exchanged.❤

  4. I always thought getting academic qualifications should be similar to that of getting licences for driving or setting up a business. Meaning that you study for however long or short you need to and then take the test whenever you're ready. So hypothetically speaking if there's an 12 yr old kid that could do master's degree level algebra why not let that kid take such a test at that age? Why mandate that the kid should only do that at age 20 something when in university?

  5. This content is an odyssey of insight. A similar book I read was a journey that reshaped my perspective. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

  6. It's an important debate, as a teacher I trully see the need for inovation in education. I do also believe we shall look into the traditional model with a little more pride, because it was responsible for the greater achievements we've accomplished in society so far, including technology itself. We can't nor should we simply toss it. Food for taught…

  7. Because I got out of the Box in the school I celebrated very fast as a youngster. I already knew 6 trades by the time I was 13 years old. I had a degree in amazing I did 10 years worth of schooling in one year. That's how fast I live. I would basically kick out of my classroom. I made it all the way to 8th grade and never spend A-day in a while. That's because I have called the SAT I've got a little special. I'm gonna load Indigo trailer.

  8. This looks better than most of the more common public schools but my question is where is nature? Where is literature and poetry? Is there anything but technology, math and science? I loved the school outside Santa Rosa where each class was graded as a whole, not individual grades and they had a beautiful garden where they grew food and then learned to cook. Depending on technology should not be everything but hopefully combined into the creative, artistic side of being a full human.

  9. Your supposed to strap the kid to a tiny desk, close off and seal up all the windows, remove anything that might stimulate them, then lecture. Just ask any teacher from the 70's 80's and on back.

  10. I didn’t discover this until after I graduated college. I sat in a desk 20 years and learn multiple subjects and at the end, you don’t learn anything.

    I wonder how teachers manage behavior issues? I can only imagine how spoiled rotting
    these kids are!

  11. Make education like a video game and addicting with dopamine hits, it's very simple. Though there is to much money and special intrest propping up dead and archive system.

  12. Children need to learn how to think, not what to think. This is a grave issue in mainstream schooling nowadays. To develop agency is to learn how to reason and make informed, intentional and meaningful decisions for oneself. Educational innovation is the pathway to transforming schools. I appreciate Alt Schools ideas toward this transformation.
