Thing 2 21clc

While driving to see my beautiful and wonderful new grandchildren ,I had many hours in the car. Part of these hours were spent listening to "Hot Flat and Crowded". I had to wonder what the world would look like for them when they were entering adulthood. One interesting story was about China achieving phone service in every house (cellular) without going through the resource intensive land line phase. Many changes that were predicted in my lifetime did not occur, or did not occur in the path that was expected. Our children and grandchildren will achieve goals, some of which I can predict and some beyond my imagination. Our grandchildren probably follow their own pathways to reach these goals.
Our goals in education should be to teach students, not only to reach the goals, but to use creativity in the paths to that goal.
