Compliance
"We are a nation of compliers"- my words
As an educator of 18+ years I believe that we rarely test the level of learning that a student reaches. We test for compliance. A student is suppose to "memorize" the material and the correct sequence of steps needed to get the desired result.
A true test is to be given some information and then you are to use it to produce a new outcome that is original. You are not solving someone else's problem but solving your own problem.
There is a revolution that is taking place around us. It is a 3D makers revolution. People are going to be able to construct new "things' as they think of them. There will be less of a need to "memorize and regurgitate" Either you can produce or you will not be successful.
Today's question is:
"Are you a producer?"
