In this episode, we briefly explore the history of modern education to understand why we are where we are. We explore ideas on how to better shape education for the future.  How can we better question the underlying assumptions we have about our education system? How can we make education more local? How can we make it more flexible, allowing families to choose not only where, but when and how their children do school? How can we make it more personal, better utilizing technology and teachers to help every student? Covid19 has allowed us an opportunity to question much of our current system, and will allow us an unprecendented opportunity to shape the future. We need to take advantage of it.The Future of Education (article)
