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.

Hey, I really enjoyed reading your comment. I'm also expecting a baby soon and am in the UK.

I'm also reluctant to send my kid to school as I just don't think it's very effective for learning for most children. The only concern I have is making sure they have enough time with other kids but I'm sure we'll figure something out!
