This book offers a careful look at how we came to have our traditional education system, and how it met the needs of a different time. By looking back at the past we can take on the task of change without casting blame, but with understanding. We will consider the systems design of the curriculum driven one-size-fits-all educational model, why it no longer meets our needs, and how to devise a system which can deliver a better future for our children and for ourselves as educators.

Appendix

In his new book Brainless Sameness, Bob Sornson nails his heartfelt, profound, and powerful thesis squarely on the doors of the education establishment. My sincere hope is that this book will be widely read by everyone involved in contemporary education K-16. As required by his task, Sornson pulls no punches in this book, being clear about the reasons for so called education reform’s failure, while also offering an inspired vision for helping students and schools fall in love with 21st century learning that really matters—to the learner and to society itself.
