Indeed its difficult for teachers, students, workers, and actually the employers and would-be business folk, the whole for profit economy is heading down the plughole, as it should, because it is the fundamental driver, the gearchain of the planetary destruction we are now experiencing. The rising difficulty of energy extraction is putting more and more stress on all business for profit - its almost inconceivable now for any enterprising young individual just starting out, to gain a foothold in any kind of business.
This is whilst utilities energy business shrinks, losing it to ever scaling up domestic and consumer solar, the latter flooding markets with free product which is unmonetised by money issued as debt, thus devaluing the latter - its a fiendish problem impacting all things, the most complex problem we will ever face as a species, and since the planet is now at flash point, starting to burn and flood, its critical we move the way nature is forceing us to move, towards the only energy which use of creates, driving temperature back down, after we stop the much bigger impact of working with only extracted energy, which destroys, pusing temperature up.
I think we are getting there, but its painful.
I hope those with the power to issue money, and actually the power of us to demand it, will do so soon, to short circuit the misery.
You sound like someone who would teach, even if you didn't have to, your heart is in your work.
So there would be a future for you in that new world, as there would be for all of us, we all have a niche that our hears would be in, if we didn't do what we currently have to do for money.
I call this the energy slavery loop, we will break it very soon I think.
We'll break it the instant solar indexed stimulus begins to be issued.
Then it won't matter if kids learn or not, conventionally or otherwise, just existing would be a creative existence because we would at least need to metabolise from the energy of the sun, and this would do the opposite of what it did when done on extracted energy, it will reduce temperature, so everybody counts in that new system, educated or otherwise.
But some kids would be inclined to pursue old school education, just because they wanted to, and some old school teachers would be teaching by the old methods, because their hearts are in it, like yours.
We get it, that new world, as soon as the solar indexed stimulus is issued.
This is what you should demand, its what is owed to you.
Its owed to us all, even the planet.
