Looking at a photo from a schoolroom 100 years ago is like peering into a different world. Students of all ages seated together in one room, the teacher, ramrod straight and strict, teaching lessons by rote from an old-fashioned slate blackboard.
It’s hard to believe past generations really learned like that.
In 20 years’ time, I believe today’s classrooms will appear to future generations much as those old one-room schoolhouses look like to us now. If we have a goal for the next 20 years, it’s to fundamentally change education to include compassion, service and global citizenship.
