sustainability

Equity matters. So perhaps we redefine public ed, because currently, everyone isn’t being drawn out. And perhaps, this is a perfect venue/vehicle to get at equity.

What if funding is no longer tied to seat time and test scores. Imagine instead, if funding comes per census, ie: how many k-12 are in your city. And that continues as long as a city continues to facilitate 1 and 2 of the redefinition, concerning all the people. Listening to each other without an agenda, in order to crowdsource community/individual needs.

We are seeking to model this vision of what it might look like in the future if government funding went toward the enlivening of a city/community. What it might look like if we focus more on a time/talent shared [connected/relationship/money\less] economy.

We’re curious about what might happen if we trust people, if public ed focused more on the public, than on paperwork/policy of proof and/or mistrust. [currently the #2 market in the US at 1.3 trill – not to mention the funding spent on healthcare, because so many are currently suffocating from ed as is.] We believe we can’t wait.

We believe scaling the individual will not only hasten equity, but provide ongoing sustainability/thrivability. Everyone known by someone, while they work on their art. Perhaps tech can help us facilitate curiosities.

We’re thinking, what’s not yet been tried is a city-wide, during-the-day experiment.

1. city-wide, in the city, so that it’s playing out within a cross-generational, eclectic community of people. [ie: not just getting better within a 3rd grade classroom, a school, a business]

2. during-the-day, as the day.  [ie: not just tacked onto the day, not just after hours]

Perhaps a means to making this happen [on a global/equitable scale] in a timely manner is simply getting people to believe it’s possible. We see the result of this experiment as a placebo, to jumpstart people everywhere into believing. Believing this redefinition is possible, that equity is possible. Perhaps people believing, people with a new mindset, is all we need.

The placebo effect has an impact on more than medicine—we see what we believe, not the other way around. – Icarus Deception

legit freedom (legit free people) will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do
