Divergent (Lateral) Thinking: How Many Piano Tuners Are In Chicago?

Convergent (High Stakes Test) Thinking:

There are approximately 5,000,000 people living in Chicago. On average, there are two persons in each household in Chicago. Roughly one household in twenty has a piano that is tuned regularly. Pianos that are tuned regularly are tuned on average about once per year. It takes a piano tuner about two hours to tune a piano, including travel time. Each piano tuner works eight hours in a day, five days in a week, and 50 weeks in a year. From these assumptions we can compute that the number of piano tunings in a single year in Chicago is __________. (5,000,000 persons in Chicago) / (2 persons/household) (1 piano/20 households) (1 piano tuning per piano per year) = 125,000 piano tunings per year in Chicago And we can similarly calculate that the average piano tuner performs _____ tunings per year. (50 weeks/year)(5 days/week)(8 hours/day)(1 piano tuning per 2 hours per piano tuner) = 1000 piano tunings per year per piano tuner. So, there are approximately _______ piano tuners in Chicago. (125,000 piano tuning per year in Chicago) / (1000 piano tunings per year per piano tuner) = 125 piano tuners in Chicago.

College should be a fall-back option
"Learning is good. Credentialing and debt is very bad," he said. "College gives people learning and also takes away future opportunities by loading the next generation down with debt."

Creativity
Chief Executives believe that more than rigor, management discipline, integrity, or even vision navigating an increasingly complex world will require creativity.

80% of employers seeking creative employees cannot find them to hire

IBM 2010 Global CEO Survey 1500 CEOs from 60 Countries

John Taylor Gatto

a vice-president of IBM tell an audience of people assembled to redesign the process of teacher certification that in his opinion this country became computer-literate by self-teaching, not through any action of schools. He said, 45 million people were comfortable with computers who had learned through dozens of non-systematic strategies, none of them very formal; if schools had preempted the right to teach computer use we would be in a horrible mess right now instead of leading the world in this literacy.

We are connected and we know more about learning than ever so lets not rely on old, ineffective methods Lets strive for the best ways to educate through cognitive science student choice collaboration authentic tension and diversity.

Edu-Blogger:
YouTube Video: Have You Been Paying Attention? Has anyone seen this garbage? Technology simply promotes copy & paste! Educators must teach them to be original, have original thought, and do original work! Imagine if society worked this way. Wed still be hoping someone would invent the rolling stone so as to create a wheel. Imagine a world where using other peoples work to create your own was ok. Wed never have gotten past the toaster to see the benefits of the microwave. Wed never have gotten past swing music to experience amazing original works like Elton Johns The Lion King or other seminal works
