Coined by Marc Canter, Ceo of Broadband Mechanics and creator of the Digital Cities Project.

As everyone goes back to high school and college today…it has to be asked…are our children, our students going to be relevant and viable when they leave             the current educational school system ? As Seth Godin says..”Large-scale education was never about teaching kids or creating scholars. It was invented to churn out adults who worked well within the system.” Now that that system has changed and the world of world and the nature of Jobs have changed because we now live in the Digital Age…is our education system evolving?

Watch Marc’s compelling video on the importance of schooling people for the Digital Age, the new world of work the changed nature of Jobs.

And as Seth Godin keeps saying…”If you do a job where someone tells you exactly what to do, they will find someone cheaper than you to do it. And yet our schools are churning out kids who are stuck looking for jobs where the boss tells them exactly what to do.”
