Apprenticeships Beat Classrooms
It's crazy to me that modern adult life is nothing like a traditional classroom format, and yet we spend 18 years preparing our kids for it by having them sit in a room and get talked at. Sure, there other kinds of activities but lecturing takes up such a huge chunk of the time spent in the educational system for most people.<p>Alternatives or complements like apprenticeship that can teach in a different way are really interesting and exciting to me.
