Justin Reich


“This means we’re training our children in skills they rarely need, while ignoring those they

absolutely do. Teaching kids how to nourish their creativity and curiosity, while still providing a

sound foundation in critical thinking, literacy and math, is the best way to prepare them for a future

of increasingly rapid technological change.”
