A letter to the New York Times

It’s time to reckon with this inconvenient truth: the future of school can’t look anything like school.

I was thrilled to see Aneesh Raman and Maria Flynn’s insightful essay “When Your Technical Skills Are Eclipsed, Your Humanity Will Matter More Than Ever,” in the New York Times and even more thrilled for the opportunity to continue the discussion.We know a radically new world requires radically new modes of learning. But until we stop training kids to compete with technology (spoiler alert: we lose), we can’t start equipping them with the uniquely human skills they need to operate it creatively, ethically and wisely.

The pivotal question now isn't *if* or even *what* change is needed— it’s HOW we’re going to do it.

Thank you always, to The New York Times for publishing my rally cry for the learning that matters most. For more on HOW we're planning to put these ideas into action at the scale we'll need, watch this space.... 💡

For now, I'd love to hear YOUR thoughts on how we can re-imagine education to embrace and elevate our humanity.
