I’ve spent the past year interviewing some pretty incredible educators on The Unapologists Podcast and something finally occurred to me:

Everybody speaks of a broken system, but nobody has a clue on how to create a new one.

We can speak of methodologies, practices, equity, function, form, in-person, virtual, homeschooling, justice, passions based, skills based, knowledge based, classical and every other jargon word until we’re blue in the face. We can lament its shortcomings, scream about what’s wrong and showcase what’s great.

But…

We don’t have a vision.

What we do have is an upcoming generation of young people who are tired of being stuck in old paradigms, no matter how they’re dressed up, who will break it themselves.

It’s coming and we better be prepared for it.
