People who spend vast amounts of time in vicinity to any institution are bound to have thoughts surrounding it, and there are a fraction of these people who are willing to evangelize this. I am one of these people. I’ve spent some 15 years in the education system, and I generally enjoyed it! There might be things to improve, it is subjective after all (see: The Data Problem With Education)
I need to create my own definition of Education. Of what its goals are, why we do it, and why it is important to work on right now.
Some places to continue my research:
- Open questions about education
- Chrisman Frank/ Synthesis
- Since I work at Synthesis, I can run experiments and check out macro things like the economics behind trying to compete with an institution.
- Athena Leong has some good sources
- Brennan Colberg

- Enders Game
- Curius

- Blooms two sigma
