The 21st century requires a rethink. Change is happening fast, with jobs not guaranteed as robots are taking over routines. We must prepare students for uncertainty & higher-level employment - helping them thinkand communicateinstead of retainand recall factsfor passing exams. Some curricula is either irrelevant for today or gained at the press of a button. Listening and literate talk (narratives)for collaboratively solving real problems should be the focus, not facts forgotten after tests. The book explores this important debate.
