What Education is Supposed to Do
I recently watched Kiran Bir Sethi's TED talk and I thought it was deeply moving. Her work with the Riverside School at Ahmedabad goes to show just how much change can be effected by empowering children to pursue their ideas.

Several times a year, I drive from the San Francisco Bay Area, where I live, down to San Diego, where I go to school.

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
