The document discusses reinventing education rather than reforming the current system. It outlines steps needed for reinventing education, including focusing on skills like critical thinking instead of just knowledge, using project-based and student-centered learning, creating professional learning communities, and involving communities. The document also proposes revisions like increasing student and parent responsibility, developing community alliances, requiring community service, offering flexible schedules, and focusing on sustainability to reinvent rather than reform education.
