> I think Montessori-esq / curiosity driven schooling is the future given 2/3 the world is on the internet and there's actually exciting, inspiring, and engaging teachers around the world doing an amazing job. I'm not sure I agree about online. One thing that Covid forcing everybody online really drives home is that the psychological change of mode to a "place of learning" really matters. I saw this in several of my friends with children. They initially tried to make education at home functional--they did okay. Two of them then got a teacher and created a little "pod" (4 students max) in their local area with a couple of other parents. Their children did MUCH better. This was for younger children (5-8 years old).
