RachelVT42 · x · 2026-08-29
The author discusses redesigning education for a child entering the 2040s, arguing that the coming decade will bring fundamental shifts in work, transport, and money, not just better phones. To prepare, the author combines a French curriculum with a custom home-study program focused on building agency and executive function, moving away from the scarcity mindset still prevalent in traditional schools.
- Core Concept: Education must align with the actual arriving world.
- Practice: Mixing established curricula with self-built content focused on autonomy.
- Context: The child is enrolled in a part-time home study program.
