- While education systems worldwide are being reformed, many of these reforms are being driven by political commercial interests that misunderstand how real people learn and how great schools actually work.

- Implication
- As a teacher I can apply these ideas in my classroom through conceptual thinking, collaboration, role-play, practical engagement the use of flipped classrooms as just a few examples.
- Critique
- The biggest critique of Robinson's work would be that he does not provide original practical medthods of applying these ideas to the classroom. While he uses plentiful examples of how he has seen other educators bring about these changes, there is a lack of information on how to actually implement these creative ideas into actionable outcomes.
