We educate them for a world that no longer exists, instilling values antithetical to those of a free, 21st century democracy. Worst of all, too many schools extinguish the very creativity and joy they ought to nourish.\u003c\/p\u003e  In \u003ci\u003eTurning Learning Right Side Up\u003c\/i\u003e, legendary systems scientist Dr. Russell Ackoff and \"in-the-trenches\" education innovator Daniel Greenberg offer a radically new path forward. In the year's most provocative conversation, they take on the very deepest questions about education: What should be its true purpose? Do classrooms make sense anymore? What should individuals contribute to their own education? Are yesterday's distinctions between subjects--and between the arts and sciences--still meaningful? What would the ideal lifelong education look like--at K-12, in universities, in the workplace, and beyond?   Ackoff and Greenberg each have experience making radical change work--successfully. Here, they combine deep idealism with a relentless focus on the real world--and arrive at solutions that are profoundly sensible and powerfully compelling.  \u003cb\u003eWhy today's educational system fails--and why superficial reforms won't help\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe questions politicians won't ask--and the answers they don't want to hear\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cb\u003eHow do people learn--and why do they choose to learn?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eCreating schools that reflect what we know about learning \u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cb\u003eIn a 21st century democracy, what values must we nurture?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e...and why aren't we nurturing them? \u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cb\u003eHow can tomorrow's \"ideal schools\" be operated and funded?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eA plan that cuts through political gridlock and can actually work\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cb\u003eBeyond schools: building a society of passionate lifelong learners\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eLearning from childhood to college to workplace through retirement\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRussell L.
