When learning is focused around the belief that the most profound ideas in the world are those that we already agree with, we condemn everyone to the status quo.
If we can admit that things can always improve, then we have to remain open-minded enough to imagine a tomorrow that does not necessarily resemble today.
Wishing tomorrow to be just like yesterday won't ever make today a better place.
The preferred future should never pragmatic.

My preferred future
Here's my preferred future for learning in less than 100 words:
Educators embrace the idea that learners construct their understanding from the inside while interacting with their environment, rather than by internalizing them directly from the outside. Educators would provide learning environments that are in a context and for a purpose, and in doing so, educators work with students (rather than doing things to them) so they experience their successes and failures not as reward and punishment but as information.
