For
Students, teachers, and parents thinking about school design
Worth noticing
The page lists four proposed things to let go of, including bells ending lessons and treating subjects as sealed boxes.

Field notes

The essays make their case through familiar school artifacts: a timetable, a grade scale, and a playground-cleaning anecdote from when Divakar was four. The “What schools could let go of” section names four targets, including using technology only to deliver content. The page also lists TEDx talks in Houston and Madurai and invites students, teachers, parents, and event organizers to make contact.
