Reshaping Learning from the Ground Up
James Daly


This article was informative in the way that school , “is a system that is completely out of time, designed to produce industrial workers.” I do think this perspective is interesting, and makes me think about the ways we offer education to students. I do agree that we no longer need all students learning at the same pace, such as reading textbooks in the same way, at the same time. I think that textbooks should have diversity, offering a variety of information for students to choose from. Students are not all interested in the same content, so offering them books that have content that they are interested in, will enhance their interest to learn. Daly says we should “get the current system out of our heads.” I think that we have a concrete view that is a traditional stance on what school should be like for students. But I believe the classroom is evolving and teachers are finding more ways to diversify the instruction for students and encourage students to become active participants in their education.
