Stop Stealing Dreams by Seth Godin

“If school’s function is to create the workers we need to fuel our economy, we need to change school, because the workers we need have changed as well.

The mission used to be to create homogenized, obedient, satisfied workers and pliant, eager consumers.

No longer.”

Fantastic!  If you know an educator, please forward this to them…even if you do not know an educator, forward this on anyway.   If you have children, read this, discuss this, become passionate about this.  It is vital to the future of this world, the children, their parents, the economy, etc.
