Here at Green School Bali we are already ticking a lot of the boxes above and seeing great results with our students since our opening in 2008.
-project-based learning, wall-less classrooms, makers spaces, teaching traditional subjects in experiential ways, including mindfulness and wellbeing programmes …

There’s still a lot more to do and learn, but it’s great to connect with educators from around the world to hear what education looks like for them

I’m diagnosed with 4 mental illnesses, and Autism, but I’m smart enough to pass the classes, so they didn’t know what to do with me having social/emotional problems and I barely lived through high school. My best friend killed herself before she could graduate in the top 10 of our grade with high honors. Other kids around my area took their own lives too, and one girl went missing after graduating high school. It was a horrific experience, especially the adults. I still can’t imagine schools evolving past making kids like us, that aren’t atypical, feel like suicide is the only escape. Once schools have dropped the idea of ‘one size fits all’, then we’ll have made significant progress.

All that what the the teachers are lecturing are available in Google and other sites.
Students have already started feeling they can get more from outside the classrooms
Time for change, or else we get a bunch of frustrated discontented students walking out of the classrooms.

This is a funny question. How can disappear the education?! I am deeply convinced that a live person and not robotic teachers will always be.

But, I don’t think so. The technology can facilitate the process but, schooling will remain as it is. Probably, the higher schooling and specialised arena may develop due to lack of intellect avail. We all like schooling and of course enjoying it spite of homeschooling concept develops in near future. We humans love being in community. A teacher role will be in different. He would be a ‘Facilitator’, no more a mentor or a guide. The other role (mentor, guide etc.) will be done by an exclusive specialist.
Besides, it depends and vary country to country!

I think the above comments are excellent. I think there is a lot homschooling/ educators are discovering a lot about education. Some platform for engagement regarding education would be useful as we think about issues of inequality, use of technology and developing critical thinking skills in the field of education.
