In education, big problems such as achievement gaps and declining student health have been addressed with numerous reforms, but after a couple of decades of doing so we have seen little to no improvements. Mark Vondracek believes it is time to take Thomas Jefferson's advice that "a little rebellion now and then is a good thing," as we are in need of an educational revolution on par with the quantum revolution in science from over 100 years ago. He suggests a shift in our mindset about how we think of and interact with students, in order to kick-start a 'quantum revolution' in education.
