Education Revolution: 5 Pieces of Inspiration

Anarchy!  I hope it is evident from our previous articles that we think the current education system is outdated and flawed.  It has its merits, but it is also has huge problems and is leaving many children ill-equipped and disenfranchised.  I have selected five pieces of inspiration, four videos and an article, towards an education revolution.  This is something I am passionate about, but they speak for themselves, so I'll just dive straight in and then let you mull them over.

And finally, an article from Cracked.com: '4 Ways Your Education Was a Conspiracy to Make You Bored' - be warned, this one contains swearing and sexual references.

-UPDATE-

I came across another fantastic, inspiring video.  Please give this one a watch too.  Also, you might be interested in another school which has used pupil directed learning, see our blog post, 'Games Based School'.

For more inspiration, see our previous posts: 'The Future of Learning' and 'Sir Ken Robinson, Education and Gamification'.
