What I remember and know about school is the way they tended to stay clear of issues that actually involved everyday living, unless it was in particular circumstances. Most of the information taught in school is fairly abstract and may not provide much of an idea of some of the processes that must be learned to operate in modern life. The net has widened opportunities, and is providing a resource of ever increasing value. There is a lot of talk about educating kids, When to function properly, they need the ability to learn. Investigating their own interests by following their curiosity. A discussion on labor in a good way to give their minds a clearly practical application. Like a debate, where they can prepare their argument, but not over some obscure topic where the sides are chosen arbitrarily. When they talk about their livelihood, how it is valued by themselves,their workmates, their employers, and society generally, they are learning about things that otherwise they would have met with no preparation, and no guarantee of someone to help.
