“Schools themselves are becoming more and more obsolete; the cost of schools continues to rise faster than inflation.” — Clark Aldrich, author of Unschooling Rules: 55 Ways to Unlearn What We Know About Schools and Rediscover Education (via springdukece)

-Clark Aldrich
“One of the greatest tragedies of schools is the dichotomy between knowing (the ‘cultural literacy’ track) and doing (the ‘vocational’ track).” — Clark Aldrich (via springdukece)
“I think that learning to build things (rather than consume things) is going to be part of the educational innovation of the future.” — Clark Aldrich (via springdukece)

-Clark Aldrich
“How did you learn to swim?” (Hint: not by being told you’ll be tested later.) In Clark Aldrich’s exposure/play/rigor model, the “play” phase is when most of the learning happens.
A great day, to be sure!
