to think more about ....

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Thu, 07/12/2007 - 9:20am.

Two (of a LOT) of the questions/ideas that came up this morning that seem to me worth thinking more (a LOT more) about ...

Are kids who get through 12 years of school more successful in later life because of things they got during those twelve years, or are they kids who already have things that both help them complete 12 years of school AND be successful in later life?

Do we want "success in later life" to be our criterion for successful education? It presumes that we think culture/society (what kids are going into) is the way we want it to be. Maybe we should define successful education as that which enables kids to be meaningful changers of society/culture in later life?
