Alvin Toffler
Brooks. Brooks is the kindly, old gentlemen character who ran the Shawshank library in the movie Shawshank Redemption. Brooks could read. Brooks could write. However, 50 years in prison did not prepare him well for the 21st century. The routine of prison life had worn a groove so deep he couldn't adapt; he couldn't get along with life on the "outside" anymore. I could speak to this further and how it supports the quote above, but then you might not watch the clip and the clip says it best...
Great comparison to the video Jesse! Imagine what would happen to our students if we taught them like it was 1905 then threw them out into the real world!
