Thanks to Scott McLeod who started this “Stop Pretending in Education.”

Here is my list:

When it comes to education, we have to stop pretending ...

1. That the arts can be done in 40 minute periods once a week or only afterschool.

2. Learning a second (or third, or fourth ... you get my point) language can only be done in Europe or in private schools.

3. Teachers are the only ones who should teach.  

4. Learning only happens in a (class)room with 4 walls.
