Everywhere I turn, people seem exhausted. Not just by the pace of change, but by the growing sense that our systems, especially in education, are still answering the wrong questions.

We’re designing for efficiency when what we need is empathy. We’re measuring content mastery when what’s slipping through the cracks is human development.

I keep coming back to a question I shared recently with educators at our Elite kickoff:

What if school wasn’t built for content delivery, but for human development?

It’s not just a question for classrooms. It’s a lens for our entire society.

If we keep treating education like a conveyor belt of content, we’ll keep producing students who know what to memorize, but not how to belong, contribute, adapt, or lead.

But if we build schools where curiosity is safe, connection is prioritized, and hope is cultivated? Then maybe, just maybe, we’ll raise a generation that can heal what’s fractured and build what’s missing.

Because in a volatile world, content is important. But character, compassion, and critical thinking are essential.
