Quotes from Stop Stealing Dreams By Seth Godin
What do you think we ought to do about
education?
Large scale education was not
developed to motivate kids or to create
scholars. It was invented to churn out
adults who worked well within the
system.
The only way for a student to get respect
inside the system of school is to earn
temporary approval from a teacher he won’t
likely see again any time soon.
There are only two tools available to the
educator. The easy one is fear. Fear is easy
to awake, easy to maintain, but ultimately
toxic.
Other tool is passion.
School serves a real function when it activates
a passion for lifelong learning, not when it
establishes permanent boundaries for an elite
class.
Fitting in is a short-term strategy, standing out
pays off in the long-run.
We need students who can learn how to
learn, who can discover how to push
themselves and are generous enough and
honest enough to engage with the outside
world to make those dreams happen.
In a world where access to data was always
limited, the ability to remember what you
were taught, without fresh access to all the
data, was a critical success factor.
The future of our economy lies with the
impatient. The linchpins and the artists
and the scientists who will refuse to
wait to be hired and will take things into
their own hands, building their own
value, producing outputs others will
gladly pay for.
The future of our economy lies with the

outputs others will gladly pay for.
No need to memorize that word – it’s now,
and forever, a mouse click away.
If I can find the answer in three seconds
online, skill of memorizing a fact for twelve
hours (and then forgetting it) is not only
useless, it is insane!
The two pillars of a future-proof education:
# 1 Teach kids how to lead.
# 2 Help them learn to solve interesting
problems.
What we cannot do, though, is digitize passion.
