Gary Stager\u2019s work and educational philosophy are based on four ideas.<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. The Piagetian idea that “knowledge is a consequence of experience.”<\/li>\n
  2. Xenophon\u2019s admonition that \u201cnothing beautiful can ever be forced.”<\/li>\n
  3. Schools have a sacred obligation to introduce children to things they don\u2019t yet know they love.<\/li>\n
  4. Computational technology makes complexity accessible to children and allows them to solve problems their teachers may never have anticipated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
    These four ideas come together in a desire to make school the best seven hours of a kid\u2019s life where she may become good at doing things and experience the satisfaction accompanying working towards continuous progress in areas that matter to her. The future viability of school depends on identifying the types of experiences we want our children to have much of the time. These experiences must benefit from being co-located in the same space at the same time and are rewarded by the participation of students.
