In the interconnected world in which the vast majority of human beings now live ... it is not possible for parts of the world to thrive while others remain desperately poor and deeply frustrated. Recalling the words of Benjamin Franklin, “We must indeed all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately”.

It is rare for such challenging learning environments to coexist within institutions driven by a time-clock or a mass of standard operating procedures.

If we want our children to become responsible life-long learners then we need to be as concerned about their time outside the classroom as we are about their time in it.
