Michael Mendizza – The Next Frontier in Education
Adults are the Next Frontier in Education – not Children. Standardized curriculum and “teaching to the tests” create industrialized human beings, which are increasingly out of date in today’s fast changing world. Reformers tinker with the conveyor belt, starting children earlier each year. Recess, physical education, art and music have been eliminated, making room for more tests and drills. Despite these efforts the assembly line falls further behind. Large scale social institutions cannot meet the demand. They can’t adapt fast enough.
