This is a picture of our #educationsystem No kidding. Many teachers ignore the latest findings in neuroscience. We have to start to implement #designthinking and forget all the #bullshit rules. Otherwise the #future of #education will look like the past. #theschoolofthefuture might be an #unschool #Unschooling is an educational method and philosophy that advocates learner-chosen activities as a primary means for learning. Unschooling students learn through their natural life experiences including play, household responsibilities, personal interests and curiosity, internships and work experience, travel, books, elective classes, family, mentors, and social interaction. Unschooling encourages exploration of activities initiated by the children themselves, believing that the more personal learning is, the more meaningful, well-understood and therefore useful it is to the child. While courses may occasionally be taken, unschooling questions the usefulness of standard curricula, conventional gradingmethods, and other features of traditional schooling in the education of each unique child. The term "unschooling" was coined in the 1970s and used by educator John Holt, widely regarded as the father of unschooling.While often considered a subset of homeschooling, unschoolers may be as philosophically separate from other homeschoolers as they are from advocates of conventional schooling. While homeschooling has been subject to widespread public debate, little media attention has been given to unschooling in particular. Critics of unschooling see it as an extreme educational philosophy, with concerns that unschooled children will lack the social skills, structure, and motivation of their schooled peers, while proponents of unschooling say exactly the opposite is true: self-directed education in a natural environment better equips a child to handle the "real world."
