We didn’t/don’t seem to have encountered too many issues in finding something to teach out kids if there are no truths. The general consensus seems to be that even though there might be no truths, we can still teach our how to think versus what to think, we can teach them to question and be critical, teach them love, justice and faith, social norms, teach them to learn by having fun and playing games and the like. It definitely seems like we’re moving forward as the class progresses. We’ve considered how, at least to some extent, everything is a construction. And then we’ve also agreed that there are some things that we can teach our kids even if there are no truths. However, my question is how, if it all, we can practically apply this. It sounds good in theory but must be actually applicable to be of any use. It seems to be a huge leap from the way many schools function now (teaching facts that are passively accepted). Ideally, society would be such that an education system like this would just work, but realistically, college, jobs and the way society functions still needs to be kept in mind. Is it possible to bring about the changes we want to see in education without having to deconstruct and rebuild society as a whole?
