5. Our schools are designed to
fail 80% of students…
The fundamental structure was
created to meet business needs
during the Second Industrial
Revolution. It is a system designed to
separate clerks from manual laborers
If this is no longer the goal, the
fundamental system needs to
fundamentally change

6. William A. Alcott, 1831
“We too often consult our
own convenience, rather
than the comfort, welfare,
or accommodation of our
children.”
7. “We’ll…”
When we make a “single decision”
– “we’ll read a printed book” “we’ll
write on paper” “we’ll all have
iPads” “we’ll all come to school at
this time” “we’ll all sit down” – we
disable up to 80% of students
Get “we’ll all” out of our
vocabulary, it is “anti-human” at a
most basic level
