 Summary

The author, a former educator, shares their personal journey from disillusionment with traditional education to entrepreneurship and back to educational innovation. This journey led them to co-found Acton Academy Fort Lauderdale, a school emphasizing a learner-driven model, and ultimately to their current role as Entrepreneur-in-Residence at the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE). The author argues that the current education system is ill-equipped for the rapidly changing world and advocates for a shift towards educational entrepreneurship ("edupreneurship"). They emphasize the need for innovative learning environments that foster creativity, adaptability, and real-world problem-solving skills. The text ends with a call to action, encouraging educators, parents, and entrepreneurs to embrace this new era of education and co-create a future of learning that is more responsive to the needs of the 21st century.
