The document summarizes key quotes and ideas from John Moravec and others around education and the future. It discusses how schools cannot teach students in traditional ways for the future, and that students should have autonomy to decide and learn for themselves. It also notes that we should value what we value, not just what we can measure. The future belongs to those who are creative thinkers like nerds, geeks, and dreamers. We must build trust in our communities and schools.
