“American Schools Are Training Kids for a World That Doesn’t Exist”

According to Edwards, “We ‘learn,’ and after this we ‘do.’ We go to school and then we go to work. This approach does not map very well to personal and professional success in America today. Learning and doing have become inseparable in the face of conditions that invite us to discover.” Edwards posits that the key change we need for our students and ourselves is renewed focus on discovery wherever we find it and learning by doing.
