We have turned schools, almost everywhere, into soulless factories that process students in batches of 25 per class, one year at a time. Children are viewed essentially as interchangeable units that need to be channeled through a pre-defined curriculum. At the end of the cycle, those that fit the mold are graduated; castoffs are discarded along the way. Learning happens best, this system seems to believe, when students sit quietly for hours in front of all-knowing teachers who fill their heads with information. Children can’t be trusted to define their own learning plans and set their own goals; that must be done by the teachers. But, really, teachers cannot be trusted either; they must be tightly supervised by principals and superintendents and school districts and expert commissions and standardized tests and mandatory school programs, to make sure they do at least a somewhat decent job.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Frederic Laloux" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/frederic-laloux/our-schools-today-are-probably-further-away-from-self-management-than/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/af7/frederic-laloux-81375_children_our-schools-today-are-probably-further-a_1779848.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/af7/frederic-laloux-81375_children_our-schools-today-are-probably-further-a_1779848.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/af7/frederic-laloux-81375_children_our-schools-today-are-probably-further-a_1779848.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Our schools today are probably further away from self-management than most other types of organizations.
