An Outdated Education System?



This video presents a view point that our current education system is outdated.  There is a disconnect between this outdated system and contemporary social realities, as the system was developed during the Industrial Revolution.  Currently, this system privileges a few, but alienates the vast majority of students.  Additionally, ADHD is presented as a "fictitious epidemic" and that students are really just bored in school.  Lastly, a paradigm shift in education is presented as a solution to the outdated system.  The new paradigm should encourage thinking and reconceptualize human capacity.
