Ricardo Semler, founder of the Lumiar School - WISE 2015 Special Address

Known around the globe for his innovative, employee-centric management style, Ricardo Semler is a true visionary who advises businesses on how to lead and manage. Founder of the Lumiar Schools, Semler has applied his world vision to the field of education.
Letting children determine what is interesting and getting the most out of every topic and project - this is the focus of the Lumiar Schools. For example, from one project on the World Cup, the school calls in teachers or "masters" of geometry, physics, history, geography and more! Putting children at the heart of their own education is much like how he democratised management practices at his Brazilian firm Semco.
Watch as he explains his passion for cross-sectional learning as a way to educate tomorrow's citizens.

Such great knowledge ! seemingly been wasted on a visually disinterested audience - Hence the ongoing problem for change in education

[@CherryVanHolland]

I didn't watch the whole speech yet, but in his TED- talk he said that people don't want the school because it's free. In our country they opened a Lumiar school that sticks to Semlers beliefs. I'd love to put my daughter there, but since they charge almost $ 15.000 (converted from €) a year per kid, I can't afford it, since I'm a student. :( It's an absolute shame.

It’s true, unfortunately Semler has been tricked by the system to do this ! So the School for life, by A.De Botton is the answer!

Absolutely thought provoking.

...and the auditorium is 1/2 empty :(

[@formulaish]

thats the problem with the sheep of the world - they are all following each other in the old antiquated systems

[@vaalea1]

20:00 instead of math and biology etc etc we have 10 threads...

Very fitting that the first question the interviewer asks Semler is "Do you fear that your program wont be accepted in the bureaucratic landscape of modern governments and institutions?" She wastes no time in getting straight to the problem in why these types of movements don't work. Human Politics.
