The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn't need to be reformed -- it needs to be transformed. The key to this transformation is not to standardize education, but to personalize it, to build achievement on discovering the individual talents of each child, to put students in an environment where they want to learn and where they can naturally discover their true passions.

What you're doing now, or have done in the past, need not determine what you can do next and in the future.

You can't be a creative thinker if you're not stimulating your mind, just as you can't be an Olympic athlete if you don't train regularly.

Very often, organizations are inflexible because there is too little communication between functions; they are too segregated.

Innovation is applied creativity. By definition, innovation is always about introducing something new, or improved, or both and it is usually assumed to be a positive thing.

All of our existing ideas have creative possibilities.

The answer is not to standardize education, but to personalize and customize it to the needs of each child and community. There is no alternative. There never was.
