How would you reinvent high school curriculum?

My top picks:
• add personal finance & taxation course
• change English into critical thinking, source verification, and storytelling
• require hands-on entrepreneurship project to graduate a la science fair

What else?

In America, the school system is just a product of industrial age. So really needs a complete overhaul from pre-k onward. As a former educator, I agree with improving critical thinking, etc. However, the current system has funding tied to test taking... so 😐 😒 🙄

Agree with this. Complete overhaul is very much needed :/

And then there is SO MUCH MONEY (pearson, etc) tied to the current system; they COULD pivot into a different system but alas I don't think anything will change.

🤔 I don't see the current system failing so much as the divide between socio-economic classes will increase. If you have the means, then you'll enroll your child in the latest, greatest, forward thinking educational institutions. It's ~impossible to retain the best teachers, more than pay is the 0% ownership/agency

Yeah, a conscious and effective transition into a different system seems very unlikely.

I do think the current system is in an obvious decline and will eventually approach a "collapse" of sorts but that probably plays out very slowly over decades
