Khan proposes K-12 classrooms not be formed on ages or grades, but a mix of students working collaboratively, with opportunities for hands-on learning. It seems the education community didn’t take him seriously, reviews were mixed on his idea for reforming K-12 and higher education. I wrote in my last post about a vision for the future of education-Sal Khan’s vision of a One World Schoolhouse. Student responses in class, IB Theory of Knowledge, as recorded in a teacher’s blog post, FutureSchool: A Teen’s Perspective. How can school be better? Student answers: “ More practical courses (like consumer math, finances, life skills)“, “ Internships and real-world experiences“, “ Students grouped not by age, but ability and interest“, “ High expectations but more freedom” and “ Meaningful work purpose no more busy work students need to be able to make connections (esp to real-world)”.
