How can we make education more adaptable?

“..no economy can long survive in violation of ecological principles.”

Nature

Teaching children about the natural world should be seen as one of the most important events in their lives. - Thomas Berry

“If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob

our children of tomorrow.” - John Dewey

The problem with teaching like yesterday, is that we are always only one day ahead.
