089. How do we educate for unpredictability?, featuring Sir Ken Robinson


Listen Later

It has been a CRAZY couple of weeks as schools are changing their stance on what the fall will look like for students. As a parent, I've been overwhelmed trying to make the best decision for my daughters and their education - even so far as to worry how this will affect their options for a college education! How could any parent know what the landscape of education will look like in one month, or three months, or one year, much less ten years from now when my daughter may be college-bound? Today’s episode, featuring Sir Ken Robinson, addresses the idea that the future is unpredictable, and perhaps it’s time for a drastic change in what we value about our children’s education.

You can find the full clip here, and for more info about Sir Ken Robinson, visit his website. For a thought-provoking read about education, check out his book, You, Your Child, and School: Navigate Your Way to the Best Education at https://amzn.to/3gkrxIz.

I'd love to know what you think, so join in on the conversation! Subscribe, leave a review, or follow PG-ish on Instagram (@pgishparenting), or you can always find me at www.pgishparenting.com.
