Among the changes educators face, some come from the changing sensibilities of students and teachers. In the developed world at least, today’s children and young people come from the video game, MP3 and digital television generation. They are the products of child-centred upbringing in a consumer society. They will simply not put up with traditional classrooms the way earlier generations did, even if at times these older generations only barely tolerated them. Nor will today’s teachers put up with working environments that challenge their professionalism by dictating the script of what they will teach, when they will teach it and how they will teach it.
