Good Day Punks!

Back again with another worldbuilding post, this time in the efforts to explore a better education system. To understand a better time, place, and methodology for learning, and how these understandings can be incorporated into a new reimagined world. It's time to take our schools to school with the latest worldbuilding post:

Solarium - The Pursuit of Learning

I generally think that we do ourselves a disservice by limiting our learning potential to the times and place of the classroom. There is much more that can be gleamed by integrating the learning experience with the world around us. Would you agree? Would you rather education be part of a rigid, maybe convenient schedule? Would love to know your thoughts as I use this post and all the user comments to generate a writing prompt and flesh out more of my worldbuilding.

Whether you comment or not, hope it was at least a thought provoking read and I greatly appreciate your time! Have a great day! :)

IMO Private schools are kind of "pay to win" in education (technically lots of aspects in education are quite like that at least in the US). I do wish public schooling adopts different learning styles (such as Montessori schools)

Completely agree higher salaries and less bureaucratic breathing over the shoulder attracts better teachers out of the public system and into private schools where only the privileged have access. But frankly who can blame them; here in Ontario the teachers spend more time without a contract than with one and our government tried making it illegal for education workers to strike last year. Wouldn't surprise me if they tried the same thing when there's a strike next month.
