What are those fundamental changes?

networked learners know more than schools do about their own learning

Highlighted by willrich

Schools need to talk to learners with whom they hope to create relationships.

Smart learners will find schools who speak their own language

I wonder if smart parents can do the same?

The community of discourse is the learning.

A healthy network organizes teachers in many meanings of the word

Schools depend heavily on open networks to generate and share critical knowledge. They need to resist the urge to “improve” or control these networked conversations.

There are three conversations going on. One inside the school. One among the parents. One among the students.

Highlighted by willrich

These three conversations want to talk to each other. They are speaking the same language. They recognize each other’s voices.

However subliminally at the moment, millions of people now perceive schools as little more than quaint legal fictions that are actively preventing these conversations from intersecting.

Get these voices together.

This is suicidal. Parents and students want to talk to schools.

Again, I'm not sure this is true. I think this goes back to my problem with what Gary says re: parents loving their kids and making good choices for them. I think school is too much of a convenience to rock the boat for a lot of parents.

Smart schools will get out of the way and help the inevitable to happen sooner.

As learners, as parents, both of us are sick to death of getting our information by remote control. Why do we need faceless annual reports and PTA groups to introduce us to each other?

Your tired notions of “parents aren’t involved” make our eyes glaze over. We don’t recognize ourselves in your projections.

Do parents want to be involved?

Will, are you seeing something in the community that we are missing? The convenience factor is a big one, I understand that, but as a parent I feel like there is too much pushing in from the world--too many changes that will tip the balance in favor of parents wanting new schools.

We are immune to advertising. Just forget it.
