6 trends to watch in K-12 schools in 2024 – Christensen Institute
Michael B. HornChristensen Institute, 2024/02/15


IconAs always, then the Christensen Institute reports on “trends” it’s describing what it thinks should happen phrased as descriptions or what will probably happen. So here’s what the Institute is advocating for: more homeschooling, parents choosing alternative schooling, education savings accounts, school districts supporting customization, competency-based learning, and career and technical education (CTE) for all, instead of college. Most of these don’t work for lower-income people at all, but that’s OK, they’re just be streamed into CTE. As a package, it essentially abandons the idea of public education. It would be a sad future if this were the case, an instance of an economy (and a democracy) in decline, with no real hope for the mass of people in society.
