Is our educational system modern day child labor and abuse.

I was lucky enough to attend a TEDx conference at Miami University, OH and this is one of the presentations that truly stuck with me.  Fromberg poses such really thought provoking questions within this presentation which I also pose to my students, although not so eloquently and definitely not so strongly.  I urge you to watch this link and ask yourself what we are doing to our young children, what are our expectations and to see the detriments of an approach that truly is reflective of child labor and abuse.  Don't our children deserve more?
