The evolution of the internet has allowed individuals to access content independently, find opportunities for advancement in professional and academic careers, and socialize on a global level. Those who have learned to be autonomous, resilient, social, and critical thinkers have been able to create unparalleled opportunities for themselves. But as learners evolve, the education system seems to be stuck.
Education is built around systems and standards, not the individuals.
For ages, political demands, broken funding models, and poor teacher training using standardized curricula prevented schools from focusing on students. Misalignment of incentives and priorities between parents, students, teachers, administrators, and policymakers created an education system focused on credentialing, and not learning.
