You Don’t Need to Have All the Answers Before You Start

“Traditional education tends to create the belief that there is an authority figure who knows all the ‘right’ answers, and everyone under that authority needs to get the same ‘right’ answer. Everything has already been discovered, codified, added to a textbook, and standardized for the test. The student’s job is not to explore and experiment, but to memorize and regurgitate. And yet, on the digital frontier, there is a broad recognition that the world is changing so rapidly that a software product started last month might be already out of date. Yesterday’s ‘right’ answers might be obsolete tomorrow. There is so much exploration and experimentation yet to be done.” (04/11/25)
