David Warlick has posted a poignant fictitious letter written from the perspective of a school superintendent, apologizing to parents for the 19th century educational preparation program their children are receiving at school.
This letter could provide a great way to start a dialog with school administrators, during a technology leadership workshop for example, about both the reasons why schools need to change for the 21st Century and the concrete ways they can and must do so.
