“All the early thinkers about the schools in the United States felt that everybody should know about the ideals of freedom and toleration because it was felt that you could build a nation on those new Enlightenment ideas." Butto turn students into good citizens in this advanced age without pencil and paper, without only one physical teacher guiding students in rows without regard for how they learn. How? By treating them as individuals, not averages.
While industries across the globe understand this, education, he says, is the “last industry that still not only allows for average based design; it incentivizes it!” The welfare-dad-turned-Harvard professor says that “classrooms are the cockpits of our economy, and to make them optimal for students we need to do what the Air Force did—‘ban the average.’ They were faced with spending more and getting worse results. They learned that their hundred million dollar fighter jets needed flexibility, not uniformity. In education we are spending more and getting worse results.
