It Doesn’t Have to Be This Way.

School Can Teach Us How To Learn.

School Can Help Us Learn to Live.

Citizens v. Workers.

And This Matters (to everyone.)

School was designed for this: But it can be ﬁxed. http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2178404705/

Ask Questions. (That we didn’t know the answers to.) http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/capohanka/3410105704/

Seek Out Answers. (Complexity is good.)

Build Real Stuff. (High School Should Matter.)

Share.

Change the World.
