Changing States of Matter: Science, Education, and Giftedness in 21st Century High Schools
Rachel E. Sytsma
I grew up with a saying whose origin I do not know: If you hold on to something too tightly, it dies. Current education stills holds tightly to what are, or will soon be, outdated priorities. Such a system will flounder, delivering ineffective products, until it either collapses or reinvents itself. Society must loosen its grip on traditional education so we can avoid driving the last breath out of a system that would be easier to revise than resurrect.
