Where is education going?
Last night I ran across a fascinating article by Thomas Frey, “The Future of Education.”

I'm interested in hearing others thoughts on his predictions. Personally, I believe he's right on the mark. And if he is correct what does that mean for our profession?
A few of my thoughts can be found here on my blog.
Feel free to post either place. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Thanks for your thoughts!
Good point on depression being linked to archaic systems, you just might be on to something there. And on the point of hyper-individualism, I personally foresee education partially-reverting back to individualized study. Think how a governess or tutor would have been used about 100-150 years ago. Due to emerging disruptive software via the internet, and a renewed sense of individualism, education must change.
I recommend reading Disrupting Class, it was recommended in the very first response to this discussion by jrsowash. It's a great read and fits fairly well where I believe things might be headed.
Once again thanks for your thoughts :)
