Dan Martell - Why School Doesn’t Prepare Us For the Future

00:00:00.000 Most schools have never considered the curriculum

00:00:02.800 and is it relevant for today's day and age?

00:00:05.500 The world's changed at a pace that we've never seen before

00:00:08.520 and the curriculum they're teaching today

00:00:10.060 for the most part is five, 10 years old at best.

00:00:13.920 The schools are not designed to actually teach people

00:00:17.140 how to be independent problem solvers

00:00:19.580 that will then allow them to own their results.

00:00:21.760 School is set up to have kids

00:00:24.900 eventually grow into factory workers.

00:00:27.400 School's designed to memorize information

00:00:29.720 you'll never have to remember ever again.

00:00:31.520 In the future, when all of a sudden

00:00:33.320 you are paid based on your performance,

00:00:35.640 the gig economy, freelancers,

00:00:37.500 this is where the world's going.

00:00:39.060 In that environment, being somebody that can memorize things

00:00:42.740 and just follow a process is not gonna be valued

00:00:45.880 and those people are gonna be in big trouble.

00:00:47.660 So critical thinking, emotional intelligence,

00:00:50.100 problem solving, character development,

00:00:52.600 those are the skillsets that are gonna make great

00:00:54.620 team members, collaborators.

00:00:56.860 The stuff that most schools are teaching,

00:00:58.360 that's not included.
