I’VE BEEN A FAN of marketing guru Seth Godin for a while now.  His daily thoughts often transcend marketing and find their way into my thoughts about life and teaching and church.  So I was excited to hear that Godin had put together his thoughts on education reform in a free e-book titled Stop Stealing Dreams.  Last week he posted a TED talk presentation of those thoughts.  I’m glad that he’s “asking the question” about education reform.  I’m not sure I agree with his solutions, though.

I really like his opening points on the historic evolution of change.  His solutions, though?  Not so sold on them.  I appreciate his thoughts and even acknowledge that some things (like the “flipped classroom” of online learning) have potential.  I just think that education is about more than transferring knowledge.  A lot more.  Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
