Nonsense and blather.

This slick video has one purpose: Public Indoctrination.

The people who made this have a long term plan to phase out the American tradition of free, universal public education and replace it with private, for-profit companies that will only care about maximizing their profits using OUR tax dollars.

As a business owner, I know that private enterprise can do marvelous things. However, as a parent, I think that a corporate takeover of our schools would be a disaster.

The concept of "career" is too early for students in primary schools, so the video and the book explain nothing :(

I don't see real reform happening in ed until the structure of course requirements, the average school day, and testing are changed. My other big issue is the presumption of the "Google" learner....most kids have grown up around this technology, but they don't know how to harness it for purpose. I hate that we think just because "information" is sitting out there that we no longer need to teach it. An empty head is an empty Google search waiting to happen. But best of luck on the project!

From the book, which I am reading now "In the flattening world of the 21st century, American students will need to master knowledge, and skills as never before. They must learn much more than the three R's... now demanded of them by standardized tests and top-down school accountability systems. The rules of NCLB have reinforced an overreliance on traditional measures of student achievement and promoted a cautious curriculum and a timorous teaching style".
