Is it possible that we all hope for the same things for our children? We want
them to be kind, capable, collaborative, and curious. What do schools want
for the kids they serve? Do they focus on adherence to a system of rules,
standards, and protocols incompatible with reality, or do they spend time
on what really matters? The Learning Game reminds us what is lost when we
focus on winning the game of school. We know that our children shouldn’t
spend a thousand hours each year sitting in rows and laboring through
worksheets to “earn” a grade. Ana Lorena provides an incisive critique of
our current approach to education and outlines a compelling vision of what
learning ought to be: collaborative, relevant, challenging, and fun.
