What I have come to understand, however, is that we will not achieve better education systems or outcomes without stepping back from the constraints of "school thinking." I need to let go of what I know and think about school--its structures, history, and influence--in order to be able to think more openly about education and its possibilities. And in order to do that it feels necessary to break some rules, to upset some conventions, to seize authority rather than wait for it to be granted.
