I think there are rays of light starting to make their way from behind the dark clouds. I look at gatherings like Educon in Philly and all the interesting, committed people attending and can't help believe that more and more people are yearning for something better. What's possible today is so clearly better than what's available. You're fortunate (as well as your students) to be able to afford people an alternative view of personal finance. Cheers.

I see these changes all around. The bulk of my own learning over the last five years has taken place outside of the traditional domain of classrooms and books. What I wonder about is how to we truly reform schools around these new realities. There seems to be no clear blueprint, no truly progressive models, how do we get there? I imagine these answers will be creative and transformative. Love the NEF video as well. I ended up teaching a "personal finance" class this semester due to a resignation on the staff. We've spent a lot of time discussing sustainable economic models and monetary theory. Interesting stuff for Juniors and Seniors to digest. @ Bill
