The Academic Revolution by Justin Louis-Jean and Pierce Mortensen

 

The Academic Revolution" by Justin Louis-Jean and Pierce Mortensen is a thought-provoking analysis of the Canadian school system. It talks about how we learn and why it's important. The book caters to a broad audience, which involves students, teachers, parents, and educators, emphasizing the collective responsibility to enhance the educational experience for everyone.

The authors identify and address significant challenges within the education system. The book looks at seven big problems in schools and gives solutions for each. The first problem is about old-fashioned ideas, saying we need to think differently. The second problem is not letting people make their own choices, and the book says we should let them. The third problem is learning that doesn't feel real, and the book wants us to have more meaningful learning experiences. The fourth problem is not knowing what you love to do, and the book helps you find it. The fifth problem is that we all learn in different ways, and that's okay. The sixth problem is too much talking in class, and the book suggests different ways to learn. The seventh problem is unexpected things, like the pandemic, and the book says we need to be ready for surprises.

The beautiful part of the book is commitment to not just pinpointing problems but offering practical solutions for each. It gives ideas to make things better. It wants everyone to work together to make education more exciting and helpful.
