We have to stop pretending...

Inspired by Scott McLeod's (@mcleod) post, here is my #MakeSchoolDifferent list:

1. Teaching to a wider middle is the change we need.

2. Teaching to the middle paperlessly is the change we need. 

3. Teaching to the middle with technology is the change we need.

4. "When in doubt, teach to the middle" is the default narrative of our practice.

5. Intuition is data.

6. We are preparing students for a world they aren't in yet.

7. Good pedagogy is about finding ways to control and coerce students.

8. Real-world problems are neatly divided into 8 subject areas.

9. Soft skill development is best left to chance.
