David Perkins Quotes
Historically, Precollege Education Has Focused On Educating For The Known, The Tried And True, The Established Canon. This Made Very Good Sense In The Many Periods And Places Where Most Children's Lives Were Likely To Be More Or Less Like Their Parents' Lives. However, Wagering That Tomorrow Will Be Pretty Much Like Yesterday Does Not Seem To Be A Very Good Bet Today. Perhaps We Need A Different Vision Of Education, A Vision That Foregrounds Educating For The Unknown As Much As For The Known. Perhaps We Need A Vision Of Education That's More "future Wise," Reflecting Our Best Guesses About What's Most Likely To Happen And Foregrounding Flexible Knowledge Likely To Inform Whatever Does Happen.
