FUTURE: Our Soon-To-Be Outdated Beliefs (About Education)
Jason Kottke links to a provocative discussion about how widespread beliefs (about race, sexuality, etc.) change over time, no matter how prevalent they may be during a certain period: Our soon-to-be outdated beliefs.
What current beliefs about schools and education do you think will no longer dominate, say a generation from now? Education mandatory for 12 years. Student learning organized by chronological age. Government grants only for higher education. Schools organized and funded by obscure geographic entities (districts).
That you have to be in a particular location at a particular time in order to learn.
