"Where will all those innovators come from? Currently, we are chasing testable competency in academic core skills. It is quite a different thing to try to educate future innovators. We don’t test for that."

Take a look at this article about The Five 'i's of Education...Imagination, Inquiry, Invention, Implementation, and Initiative. (Don't they all sound so good!)
