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.

Probably the same as it is now?

Parents work and need their kids to fuck off till they’re done. And at least get some education.

So in an idealised utopian future you would want things to stay the same?

Well what sort of changes would you like to see?

I work in education, and so I’m interested in getting to know how others want to see the world change.
