INSIGHT

Education Should Teach How To Learn

  • Katie Wells argues schools focus on what to learn instead of how to learn, which harms curiosity and adaptability.
  • She recommends a skills-up approach that prioritizes rapid learning, problem solving, and imagination.
ADVICE

Daily Cross-Topic Learning And Practical Skills

  • Watch three unrelated TED Talks each morning to train pattern recognition and creative connections.
  • Build a yearly list of ~100 practical, hands-on life skills and teach them through application.
ADVICE

Give Children Real Responsibilities Early

  • Don’t do tasks for children they can do themselves; support but require autonomy once capable.
  • Teach laundry, cooking, household tasks and even financial basics early to build competence.
