In the first salon of this <a href="https://interintellect.com/series/7-things-wrong-with-education-what-can-we-do-about-it/">series</a>, host <a href="https://twitter.com/joaolmateus/">João Mateus</a> will explore the first lesson we must unlearn as adults to become better human beings: confusion. The current educational system promotes it, and we want to design an alternative. Can you help? Come share your own experience and help design a better system!

John Taylor Gatto, in his speech "The 7 Lesson Schoolteacher", writes:

"The first lesson I teach is confusion. Everything I teach is out of context... I teach the unrelating of everything. I teach disconnections."

In this first Salon, we're going to explore the relationship between confusion and the current educational system, trying to find a better alternative.

We'll ask questions such as:
<ul>
 	<li>Why is confusion taught in schools?</li>
 	<li>Is it purposeful?</li>
 	<li>How can we unlock clarity for our students in the different decisions they have to make?</li>
</ul>
Join João and come help create a Modern Golden Age in Education!
