Curious to hear people’s ideas on how education would look in such a world.
For me, I’d like to see it moved away from testing and results based learning.
A stronger focus on physical engagement with things, e.g. learning biology by going out and cataloging wildlife and learning what’s in a local ecosystem before coming together and researching findings and looking for new questions to ask.
Less sitting around at desks being fed information and a greater focus on individual agency in exploring topics of interest.
Not to say there isn’t a time and a place for “high level” stuff where you need to deep dive into books and listen to lectures, but there needs to be a greater balance in methodology.
Open Source: The tools we reach for our children become the basis for a lot of their lives, we shouldnt be forcing them into life long expectations of subscriptions and surveillance)
More Democratic: Students, staff, parents, and the community all should have measurable and legally binding power over how the school functions
More immersion less memorization: More emphasis of people learning how to do and be less on passing tests. Ideally people should leave school with practical skill to do something, including academic research, scientific discovery, civic engagement, financial planning, wood working, etc
I really like the idea of more volunteer mentors for specialities and AI for shaping reusable content for children to learn from too. So rather that say a teacher assigning homework from a preselected workbook and reading assignments from a book, instead students are assessed and have reading, video, interactive content shapped for them to get prerequzite knowledge from to help prepare them for activities with mentors.
