What Are Schools For?

TVO has a series of programs this week at 8 p.m Last night's episode was titled "What are Schools for?" It was a very interesting discussion with a variety of educators, researchers and other hosts who are involved with educating students at the post-secondary level. I was very intrigued with the comment that our students today are being taught by a generation of teachers that are not to date with the ideas, technology and critical literacies that students of today require. I also found Bill Gates quote very interesting and enlightening! Has anyone seen the program tonight?
