Forget School focuses on why young people are succeeding on their own terms and what school can do to avoid being left behind. The author emphasizes that schools are at a crossroads: either they respond to the real world of change, challenges, and possibilities that face young people, or they become irrelevant. Education can be recalibrated to better support young people, including school culture, curriculum design, and pedagogical approaches.
