One is that rigidity is lethal. Any aspect of an education system that locks pupils in to fixed patterns of thought and action will enhance their vulnerability to rapid and massive change. For instance, there could be no worse preparation for life than England\u2019s Standard Assessment Tests, which dominate year 6 teaching. If the testimony of other parents I know is representative, SATs are a\u00a0crushing experience\u00a0for the majority of pupils, snuffing out enthusiasm, forcing them down a narrow, fenced track and demanding rigidity just as their minds are seeking to blossom and expand.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Education, to the greatest extent possible, should be joyful and delightful, not only because joy and delight are essential to our wellbeing, but also because we are more likely to withstand major change if we see acquiring new knowledge and skills as a fascinating challenge, not a louring threat.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/qrcodes.pro\/7anUhS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BRINGING AI TO SCHOOL: TIPS FOR SCHOOL LEADERS<\/a><\/strong>&#8212; a mini ebook from ISTE<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Artificial Intelligence is having a major impact on education.
