Future of Work

The newest generations of learners need to learn why understanding the problem, the kinds of common mistakes that happen in organizing the problem, and learning to check answers for consistency are some of the most salient skills to develop in the real world.

I used to train using only productivity cases. Now I use more creativity. It’s stickier, and thus more efficient.

an integral part of what drives education is a fostering of a culture that values it. In order for education to thrive and evolve, it must be part of our culture and valued by those who live in it. If not, those who try to walk the path of personal development will also become devalued and marginalized by our society.

Because we must make money to support ourselves and our families (a worthy and legitimate goal), we sometimes confuse the tools that help us achieve this goal (eg., mastering customer service, spreadsheets, management techniques) with the values that feed the soul (higher order goals like self-discovery; the pursuit of beauty and truth; love).

education has largely stopped serving its primary purpose, preparing young people to thrive and giving them the skills and the hunger to continue a lifelong journey of learning.
