Reaction to 'Did you Know?' by Carl Fisch

Will these facts and predictions affect schools?
Absolutely. These facts are amazing. I can’t believe how fast information grows and changes and how the world is growing and changing.

One fact that struck me as interesting was that we are preparing children for jobs that don’t exist yet. It really reinforces for me the idea of preparing them to be smart thinkers about whatever it is that they are working on. Whether it be history, science, math or stories it’s important that they can think critically about what they are learning about.

I also found it interesting that knowledge becomes obsolete very quickly. It reinforces the idea of needing to be a lifelong learner. No matter whom you are or what you do in life you need keep up with the times intellectually.
