Believe in Something

My 11 yo is currently writing a gothic story. Love that education is emphasising story telling. But to what end?

Never has she been asked to write what she believes in. 

Too much of these skills will end up being directed at writing company reports rather than what is truly valuable.

I make digital art that explores how we express ourselves together.

Exactly, so dependant on local factors. Key thing about Web3 for me is system change to give everyone agency

Hmm. Good point. But I think these things are very teacher-dependent. My son, in Year 6, has a teacher who really inspires them to express their thoughts. With poetry, mainly. But still. Also, I think that's precisely the issue. It depends on a teacher not the system or structure.

I like psychology, philosophy and learning. Organisational Development pro and Coach. Mum to 11 yr old. Married to @ChrisCoCreated.

Yes, yes it is. Though I suspect it’s a rhetorical question?

The point I was trying to make is that our education system doesn’t by default install agency and belief in our children that can change the world. Rather develops them in service to the current paradigm.

Depends what the company are trying to achieve. I write reports/ strategy docs using skills in rhetoric and story-telling to influence senior leaders to implement positive people strategies. Is that not valuable @chriscocreated ?
