Change hits Welcome Back to School

This cartoon is making the rounds this morning: 

Reminds me of those words often claimed to be either a Chinese and Hebrew proverb:

Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in another time.

And this from John Dewey:

The world is moving at a tremendous rate. Going no one knows where. We must prepare our children, not for the world of the past. Not for our world. But for their world. The world of the future.

But it’s just a cartoon, right?  But if it made you smile … why?

  • It really made me smile, because it reminds me what we were told at education course: remember, most children are much more intelligent then their teachers!
