Now is the time for place-based education. Across the country, the stage is set for a new community-based, student-powered form of education. This requires a shift in our collective thinking. We need to take down the walls between schools and the rest of the world so that our children can be vital members of our communities and our communities can offer futures worthy of our children. There is so much potential and there is a lot to be done. Let’s do it together.
