11051 Education Design Challenges

It is... nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom; without this it goes to wreak and ruin. It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty. — Albert Einstein

The primary education design challenge in your life is to design the education plan for your life.

If you are not already in your working/earning situation, your education plan should lead to a way to earn a living in the modern world that is sustainable through the complications likely due to the machinations of the four horsemen of the modern apocalypse (peak energy, climate instability, political criminality, economic irrationality).

If you are already in your working/earning situation, your education plan should focus on your passions, on subjects that enhance your life. You may need to change your job as a result of changing circumstances. All of this is part of your education design.

Since important functions should be supported by multiple elements and systems, designing an educational plan that leads to multiple income possibilities greatly increases the sustainability and resilience of your life.

Your education plan will broaden your horizons and give you the knowledge and skills you need to navigate the complicated and difficult future.

If you designed and implemented a learning community, as suggested in section 0, evaluate its effectiveness as part of your educational design.

If you designed and did not implement — or if you did not design — a learning community, evaluate that decision and its impact on your iPermie experience.
