…in ed We think we have bang up lessons... but have we asked the kids? Do they carry ideas outside the class? Past the tests? Do we hear global voices in our classrooms? Do we speak their language, are we too busy insisting that they speak ours? Are we too busy getting things done to notice.

On Newton’s Law at Harvard, a study showing that barely any can apply it on arrival, and only about half can at the end of the year.
On AP classes… US study asked students as they left class what just went on. Most couldn’t say. How were they able to do well on the test?
They gathered after hours in student organized study groups.

Of course you can do something that matters.
The question is… do you want to?
-Rework
Noah sharing that for him, work that matters means he’s working with people.I get real lazy when it comes to independent work.This isn’t a classroom passion.I need to connect to someone who knows it a lot better than I do.I don’t know if I could do it by myself.
Doing what has been considered standard doesn’t equate with success anymore.
We need to be freeing kids up to be themselves. Giving them space to fail. Showing them we trust learning. That it is that fascinating and alluring.
Lucas with a CSU student talking about space and permission to be.
Could we make this a place that would accept me, and more importantly, be able to keep people like me?
On the West Coast, you’ve got Peter Thiel, paying people to drop out of college. And I thought: let’s flip this around. Aren’t there a bunch of those people who dropped out who should be here at the Media Lab and how can we figure that out? That’s one of my missions.
Lab goal: building/supporting spaces for all options (all people) within public ed. [homeschoolers/unschoolers, dropouts, rebels, 4.0’s, homeless -any that are disengaged.] When we exclude, we miss incredible adjacent possibilities. Nothing is for everyone.
Let’s use that for good.

We can do any of that. We can do all of that. And more. Together.
We have millions of expert collaborators waiting to be set free, to do stuff that matters.

devastatingly simple- Anne McCrossan
The shift in education can be devastatingly simple as well.
We don’t need new programs, new standards, new policies, new buildings …we just need a new frame of mind.
A culture of trust.
And people.We need people.
People who want to do things that matter.People who want the thrill of working hard on things that matter.
And they are everywhere. We need to learn from our YOUth how to connect and collaborate this new game.
They’re learning how to play without us. But they’re dying for time and space to do the legit work, the hard work,
the work that will make a difference. Too many of them are waiting for permission for validation.
The beauty and simplicity is that anyone can decide to play. Today even. You even.Let’s at least let kids decide. Let’s let them choose what they want to learn.

Kids hard at work that matters. It may take time. It may look ridiculous for a while. But it’s legit. It will change the room.
be mindful.
Instead of embracing the diversity of the human mind we have stigmatized
the very differences that are so
characteristic of humans. The DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) declared war on the introverts, and the educationally challenged among others and has attempted to
define what a normal human should be, an extroverted individual who works well with people, progresses well in conventional schooling, and will succeed in a conventional job.
Lucas, student, Stigmatizing the Human Mind
looking to measure creativity.
Common statements in the Lab, I can’t stop learning, I want to learn everything.
So how do they learn?.. what do they need?

When teenage girls can help organize events that unnerve national governments, without needing professional organization or organizers to get the ball rolling, we are in new territory. As Mimi Ito describes the protesters,
Their participation in the protests was grounded less in the concrete conditions of their everyday lives, and more in their solidarity with a shared media fandom…
Although so much of what kids are doing online may look trivial and frivolous, what they are doing is building the capacity to connect, to communicate, and ultimately, to mobilize. .. What’s distinctive about this historical moment and today’s rising generation is not only a distinct form of media expression, but how this expression is tied to social action.
