An Education Syllogism

Posted in | »

  1. Schools exist to prepare students to thrive in the environment where they live.
  2. The environment we live in has changed significantly in the past fifty years from a mechanistic to an electronic world.
  3. Therefore, schools must change their methods for how they prepare students from mechanistic preparation (fixed length/content courses, categorized knowledge) to electronic preparation (pattern recognition, rhizomic learning).
