Of course schools are obsolete learning systems. Everyone is expected to learn the same thing at the same time, whether they’re interested or not. Gates isn’t saying anything the Automonous Learning fraternity hasn’t known for decades.

And forcing kids to use Apple iBooks? As someone who observes the education system with the bemusement of one who knows his kids will never get involved in it, this seems no less daft than school meals sponsored by Coca Cola and lesson plans drawn up by Hollywood.

Dumping corporate culture starts at a young age. Just say “no”, kids.

LOL. Yeah, that way they change “history” overnight & schools’ll become Wikipedia centers of disinformation similar to the media. LOL. Gates shouldn’t talk. What original idea has he ever come with?
