What do Farcaster parents think about schools?

The only I’m high conviction on is that trad schools don’t offer the feedback loops to stay current.

Most schools today still function like the ones I attended growing up. But the world is completely different now. That disconnect is what worries me.

traditional schools will increasingly become social clubs and teachers will become life coaches / therapists 

legacy education institutions won’t be able to compete with more bespoke, software-first learning approaches imo 

teach them to be curious, hungry, imaginative and resilient and they’ll go far

yeah I think we’ll start to see more alternative education systems popping up over the next 5 years, but I think the greatest barrier to adoption will be the parents themselves accepting that things have changed and the way they were educated is outdated and no longer relevant. I think many parents will struggle to get on the same page about trying a new / untested schooling system even if there’s early evidence it’s better

i agree w the mission (last sent). my q is more around how do you approximate that w current alt infra being either non existent / new.
