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.

  • Classroom democracy, obviously there'd be limits but charging students with increasing responsibility to guide their own curriculum I think will pass a great lesson on civic participation and responsibility.

  • initial due dates for assignments and tests but with the ability to resubmit for an improved grade provided you actually give it your best effort on the initial and subsequent submissions.

  • Full year rotating academic schedule

  • At least two teachers to a classroom

  • Hunt to the ends of the earth and exterminate any waste of oxygen who has so much as breathed of the concept of "parents rights" in any tone more positive than abject condemnation and disgust.
