I love analysis, so here’s my theory around the over 15 year old murder case of Hae Min Lee that Adnan Syed now is imprisoned for. Now, I finally got to listen to the Serial podcast season 1 about the murder of Hae Min Lee (Hangul: 이해민; 1980–1999). From wiki: She “was a Woodlawn High School senior in…
Here’s the 10th systemic failure: Schools are isolated from the society and the common notion decision makers have is that schools are a mirror of society and not the other way around. I believe that the only way we can truly change society is by doing right in school, everyday. If we introduce distress in…
Here’s the ninth systemic failure: The outside world is mainly believed as causing the school’s problems of today (misbehaving and lazy pupils, spoiled parents, the entertainment industry, Internet and technology etc) rather than the design of the education system itself. Every complex business organisation existing today has been forced to change and adapt. There have…
Here’s the 8th systemic failure: The decision makers have themselves been successful in the “old” school so they see no reason to change it for those who are not benefitting from it. It’s Machiavellian and the power structure is ancient: It ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in…

It’s often about an ability to put things in perspective… And where to are the leaders taking us? Is there any global leadership at all? Sadly no. I wish there…
Sustainable development is the hype thing on the agenda – nobody buys the concept of unsustainable development. It seems there is an increased awareness and understanding even for certain common environment issues. We must become more sustainable and think a little differently – but what does this mean I hope you wonder. Let me try…
A common image of the education system is sometimes that teachers, school developers and students are so steered by all requirements and lack of resources and mold on the walls etc that they have stopped caring. The teachers have given up and the students are just checking in physically and barely that. “A teacher’s day…
