How would you envision Solarpunk schools and education? - eviltoast

This can be the way things are taught, who are the teachers, what a school day would look like, where classes are taught, what things what look like, etc.

    No assessment, no obligatory school time beyond teaching kids how to read well and basic maths. School could be a building where explanations of different topics are offered to interested people of no matter what age - of course you would have curriculum guides to help you find out where best to start, but you can just go and sit in the lessons.

      I don’t think reading and maths needs to be obligatory. Kids will pick it up naturally through their own curiosity when trying to learn about something more advanced.

      What you are describing is pretty close to a university. Which makes sense because universities are places of learning, unlike schools which are prisons of disciplining and the goal isn’t to learn but to memorize minutia for about a month before moving to the next topic.
