(Is Sweden’s Classroom-Free School the Future of Learning? - Education - GOOD

The traditional setup of school classrooms—straight rows of desks with accompanying chairs—doesn’t do much to foster creativity or collaboration. Many experts have proposed redesigning classroom furniture, but a Swedish school system wants to take things a step further. Vittra, which operates 30 schools in Sweden, is seeking to ensure learning takes place everywhere on campus by eliminating classrooms altogether. 

How innovative this might seem, it is still the school model. I think learning must be rethought much deeper than changing the parameters within the school model.
