A New Thought for School; a New School of Thought?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a world that demands continuous re imagination for a creative and self reliant age, here could be a clarion call to transform the present day school system. The rant(brilliantly put out by the mercurial Tom Peters<\/strong>) goes thus:-<\/p>\n

From Teach-to-Test TO Teach to Quest<\/p>\n

From Developing Facts TO Developing Talent<\/p>\n

From SAT Prep(Think ‘multiple choice’) TO WOW Project(Think ‘individual choice’)<\/p>\n

From Fetishing Generic ‘ standards ‘ TO Honoring Individual Creativity<\/p>\n

From Quiet classrooms TO Noisy classrooms<\/p>\n

From School as Factory with focus on ‘units ‘ TO School as Studio with focus on Uniqueness<\/p>\n

From turning out Docile workers TO Building up Creative ‘ talent ‘<\/p>\n

From Obedience as key virtue TO Initiative as key virtue<\/p>\n

From Teaching to a Standard ‘norm'(Lowest Common Denominator) TO Teaching to a Standard of ‘excellence'(Highest Possible Achievement)<\/p>\n

From a Focus on Similarities TO Focus on Differences<\/p>\n

From Testing for ‘Intelligence'(singular) TO Teaching for ‘Intelligences'(multiple)- Mr Howard Gardner, there you have your say!<\/p>\n

From Math & English domination TO Art and Music thriving<\/p>\n
