Hey Hunter. It's so interesting to hear your opinions on education. I am sixteen and I go to a project based learning charter school. (You actually might have heard of it) As a result I have had a hugely different experience than most kids.
I love literature and I am a huge fan of reading. Most kids my age don't get it and brag about how they don't. My generation seems to cultivate this idea that willful ignorance is cool. I completely agree with you about needing a cultural change because I experience it every day.
Basically my question is how can you change that idea in 16/17/18 year olds? I can definitely see how to change it in younger generations but how can you implement a complete change in a teen who is already convinced that learning things is stupid and not knowing what's going on in the world is cool?
By the way I apologize for any heinous grammar or spelling errors. I have web traveling nonstop for 20 hours.
