Hi @supermama thanks for responding, steemit.com seems a bit abondoned and broken (don't get any flags about replies!)
It is a question that is fair to ask I think. I would ask "Do we still need the education system?" besides that. Education in an ever more complex world might be unavoidable but to achieve successful outcomes it needs to shift it´s focus from knowledge based to skills based. Look at Tony Wagner's 7 Future Survival Skills.
here the system might have value, IF it can step away from the previous way of doing things... my hope for that is low. More probably that it just withers away and more and more people opt out for alternatives. Which is a tragedy because in the mean time it is stealing a good decade and a half of untold billions of children with increasingly little to show for it....
