THE WHO

THE WHY

Why is a new way needed?

 

First let's first ask ourselves, why would we want to different way? 

Perhaps we aren’t getting the outcomes we want. Maybe because the process to get the outcomes is a long and unhappy one. Or maybe we lose something vital in the process, like creativity or mental health. If one of these things was true, immediate reform would be the minimal requirement. If all were true, a complete overhaul of the system is required.

Are we getting happy, healthy and prepared young adults?

 

Let's check.
