What a great education experiment

❤️ I freakin’ love this 🚀


A new Dallas high school is dedicated to entrepreneurship

The 1st floor has 15 retail shops where students learn how to run a business

We need more schools where learning is:

* experiential
* project-based
* inter-disciplinary

The traditional “sage on a stage” lecture followed by “cram. exam. erase” tests don’t lead to understanding or retention AND students hate it

An entrepreneuring education which is inter-disciplinary, i.e. teaches numeracy, literacy, and durable life skills (critical thinking, influence, research, leadership, etc) in a real world setting is the future and is 🔥.

Note: an entrepreneuring education also would NOT teach certain subjects


Any other examples of entrepreneuring education you’ve seen that are worth highlighting?
