在大约30分钟的时候，采访完一个harvard和一个stanford的教育学教授后，出现了一个riverdale country school的English/philosophy老师，讲得非常好。我很好奇，查了一下，这个乡村学校是纽约州最好的高中，从幼儿园-12年级。
他说：if we wanna compete with other country, it's gonna be producing citizens capable of innovative thinking, not citizens capable of industry production, not citizens capable of assembling ipads. we're going to lose if that's we are thinking what we are producing. That blue callor industry model of educaiton is already gone. We are already living in its wake. I think we need to produce other people who seen do well in the new information economy.We are creativity, a kind of anti-authoritarianism, it's celebrated because these people toally willing to try staff, to fail, to learn from their failures and to try again. We have to produce thoes kinds of kids. that's noncogtive traits. I didn't say anything about they need to know this about the world and they need to know that. I think we are moving towards education that's all about skills and much less about rotation of body of knowledge.
What kinds of citizens are we producing?
