"How did we conclude that the best way to prepare kids for the future is to cluster them into classrooms by age and grade, forcing them to learn the same things, at the same time and pace, seven hours a day, five days a week, for twelve years? We trust the school system to prepare our kids for the future. We get excited when they get good grades, or disappointed if they don't. But we rarely stop to question whether school is teaching our children the right things in the right way. Kids could get good at playing the game of school, but are they really learning? Teacher-turned-edupreneur Ana Lorena Fbrega, known by her students as Ms. Fab, invites us to rethink education. In The Learning Game, she reveals how traditional schooling has gone wrong, and proposes a series of actionable strategies to help kids learn."--Publisher.
