School as a factory.
A century ago, the idea of delivering standardized education was a fresh and new initiative. It fit the times, it fit the workplace and it fit the dominant contemporary ideology.
However, this model is not fit to prepare students for the information age. A time that celebrates creativity over conformity, communication over isolation and critical thinking over obedience.
We encourage you to think about the purpose of school. When you sit in class, ask yourself: what is this for?
When you are preparing for a test - what is this for?
When you raise your hand to speak in class - what is this for?
