What if... addressing the wrong problem


What if COVID-19 allows schools to recognize that they have been addressing the wrong problem?

Well over a hundred million college and K12 students and teachers are experimenting right now with virtual learning.

At some point, we will return to physical campuses, but we will not return “to normal.”

As you test your way toward a new normal, are you still addressing the wrong problem—or are you asking better questions about what school is for and what change you want to see in the world?
