School Should Take Place in the Real World Many kids hate school. There is not much real-world application found by sitting in rows in complete silence, being released from class by a factory bell, and listening to someone talk for an hour about topics that have no relevance to your current and future life. This method of education was created for a period in history that has long passed; yet this is exactly what one sees in the majority of American schools. Education needs to be authentic. School should not just apply to the real world, but actually be the real world. Trevor is a teacher, storyteller, and spoken-word poet. He teaches at Kent Innovation High School, a project-based learning school that uses integrated technology, collaboration, and hands-on learning to model a more effective way of doing education—all without textbooks. He is part of the team that has earned his school the title of National Demonstration Site for public schools. To learn more about Trevor Muir visit bit.ly/TEDxSAT12
