This is thought-provoking post. The wide variety of pedagogical approaches to education is rich. We have yet to hit the sweet spot given the wide range of issues confronting each community at the individual and institutional level. Not to mention the fast changes in technology in general. The shift during the pandemic years was towards online environments, which in essence is a form of homeschooling. I wonder how successful or not that experiment was. New tech on the horizon will make use of 3D virtual and augmented reality, which do not require physical presence in a classroom. Would this help minimize the hierarchical organization humans are so fond of? Maybe not, but it might provide more choices on how to educate children in a positive enriching environment.
