Paradigm shift

Schools are often inflexible, didactic silos of disconnected learning, abstracted or even removed from real world issues. They are more focused on teaching children about the world that they already know, rather than teaching them how to think about solving problems in a world to come. But the world has changed. Over the last several decades, the industrial economy based on manufacturing has shifted to a service economy driven by information, knowledge, and innovation. We need a paradigm shift in the way we learn.
