22. “Those who are waiting for this recession to end so
someone can again hand them work could have a long
wait. Those with the imagination to make themselves
untouchables — to invent smarter ways to do old jobs,
energy-saving ways to provide new services, new ways
to attract old customers or new ways to combine
existing technologies — will thrive. Therefore, we not
only need a higher percentage of our kids graduating
from high school and college — more education — but
we need more of them with the right education.”

34. The American high school has followed thre
e critical
operating instructions that are so ingrained
in the culture
by now as to seem natural: Segregate stude
nts by class,
race, or perceived academic ability. Separate
academic
from technical teaching and learning. Isolate
adolescents
from the adult world they are about to ente
r.

36. There is an infatuation right now with the culture of
‘one right answer’ that can be bubbled on the multiple
choice test. Asking kids to never be wrong doesn’t
allow them to learn.

54. What is the junior version of this game?
Can the adult world come in?
Can the cost of failure be reduced?
Can we iterate?
Are there natural consequences?
Could there be a studio, stage and audience?
(what tools allow me to do this?)
