The Future of Education...100 Years Ago
Daniel Pink, the author of the book Drive,(which I recommend), wrote a blog about a blog he read...got that?...about an article from "Ladies Home Journal" written 100 years ago. It had some interesting stuff, but Pink focused on what they thought education would look like today. It goes with some of what was discussed in class this summer. Here it is! What are your thoughts?

This was an interesting post/blog Heidi :) it is interesting how much they thought we'd take care of the poor students and broaden their horizens by taking them on trips in the summer too. Wouldn't that be nice ? :) I also like the thought about teaching etiquette and housekeeping - some of those are lost skills that need to be taught. Still 100 years ago they had visions of an education system that seems utopian (sp?)
