• Why did you say no?
• Why are we treating people differently?
• Why is this our policy?
• Why don't we enter this market?

29. ...we need to rethink the stories we tell about socio-
technical change and the future of education. We
need to reclaim the right of educators, students
and communities to challenge the orthodox future
we are being sold, and to imagine and build viable
alternatives. Only by rewriting the stories we tell
ourselves about the relationship between
education, technology and social change we
ensure that schools are really equipped to prepare
all of their students for the future.
