Everything one place

Here are some of the ways where school and learning can become divergent. School promotes starting by looking for answers.  Learning promotes starting with questions. School is about consuming.  Learning is about creating. School is about finding information on something prescribed for you.  Learning is about exploring your passions and interests. Schools teaches compliance.  Learning is about challenging perceived norms. School is scheduled at certain times.  Learning can happen any time, all of the time. School often isolates.  Learning is often social. School is standardized.  Learning is personal. School teaches us to obtain information from certain people.  Learning promotes that everyone is a teacher, and everyone is a learner. School is about giving you information.  Learning is about making your own connections. School is sequential.  Learning is random and non-linear. School promotes surface-level thinking. Learning is about deep exploration.
