Brainless Sameness

by Bob Sornson

This book offers a careful look at how we came to have our traditional education system, and how it met the needs of a different time. By looking back at the past we can take on the task of change without casting blame, but with understanding. We will consider the systems design of the curriculum driven one-size-fits-all educational model, why it no longer meets our needs, and how to devise a system which can deliver a better future for our children and for ourselves as educators.

This is a must read for all educators, teachers, and parents. The way the education system is set up for our children does not promote a love for learning, and this book helped show me what the right kind of education system could look like. As a teacher, it made me extra motivated to not just focus on getting my kids to pass the tests, but to bring back the basic love of learning even when it gets hard.
