"It seems to me like we have to change how we view the goal of education, and it probably needs to look more like recovery than innovation" — from my perspective it's a question of what needs to be preserved for society to function. There's a lot of knowledge that can be locked away in books and recovered as needed; this would correspond the many of the humanities and the theoretical disciplines like math. But the trades (plumbing, car repair, electrical, HVAC, welding, etc.) are both un-outsourceable and necessary for civilization as we know it. If AI does take over much of what we now call knowledge work, the people who know how to expertly manipulate physical objects will find that their skills have become immensely desirable.
Hey brother. I know we don't know each other but I've done some minimal writing at Mere O. I think it would bless you if you looked into Ambleside International. I'm not sure if you have an ASI school near you, but they've been doing the work of virtue training for 20 years. We just launched one in my city, and my wife is a teacher. One benefit is that they have great training resources available for perspective teachers and parents.. Most Charlotte Mason homeschool models take Mason principles but don't understand Mason methods. The methods are the secret sauce. Send me a message (you can do that on here right?) if you'd like more info.

Write on, Ian!
Here is my take on a few ways to rethink education as engagement.
