The Surprising Truth About Learning in Schools

I recently just shared, The Surprising Truth About Learning in Schools, by Will Richardson http://linkis.com/www.youtube.com/o0RCC and it was interesting to hear his comments about the learning conditions in schools of today and they are very similar to our own when we went to school. He goes on about the disconnect in what we believe and what we practice. The learning that the kids do are on their own is different from the learning they do in schools. Do our physical environments promote engaging conditions for deep learning for our students?
