TRANSCRIPT
There's a dark little joke exchanged by educators with a dissident streak:
Rip Van Winkle awakens in the 21st century after a hundred-year snooze and
is, of course, utterly bewildered by what he
sees.
Men and women dash about, talking to small
metal devices pinned to their ears. Young people
sit at home on sofas, moving miniature athletes
around on electronic screens.
Older folk defy death and disability with
metronomes in their chests and with hips made of metal and
plastic. Airports, hospitals, shopping malls--every
place Rip goes just baffles him.
But when he finally walks into a schoolroom, the old man knows exactly where he is. "This is a school,"
he declares. "We used to have these back in 1907. Only now the blackboards
are white."
Milton-Freewater, let’s have a discussion about
the future of our schools…
How can we design schools for a future that
we can’t possibly predict?
