This document discusses changes in education over time. It contrasts classrooms and soldiers of the past with modern versions, noting that while tools have remained the same for 100 years, students today learn in many different ways. It argues that by embracing new technologies and allowing students to learn on their own terms using the tools they prefer, literacy, math skills, attendance, and graduation rates all increase, while disciplinary issues decrease. The document concludes by urging educators to dispose of old ways of thinking in order to reach new educational goals and unlock students' creative potential.
