What if "School Is Not School"?

What if "School Is Not School"? | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

What is schools today were completely changed? In February 20 people met for "an intense consultative session in which we worked to come up with a revolutionary vision for public education...the session has inspired a manifesto that poses this radical concept: 'School isn't school. It is the birthplace of the citizen ideal.'" (http://www.good.is/post/what-if-schools-weren-t-schools-anymore)

This article provides a more detailed description of the session and a place where you can input your vision...could school become "the place where we’re inspired to forget ourselves and become aware of the hopes and needs of somebody else—our neighbors, other citizens."
