In my experience it is exactly as you say, we prepare them based on our past not on their future. I'm not sure we even always understand what our past experiences in education consist of. It needs to be something discussed openly with a mind for change. We will never know exactly what the future holds, but we can make an effort to anticipate and, as you say, teach and engage in critical thinking. Thank you for your input Addie!

I think we need to focus our kids on problem-solving and thinking critically, so that they are prepared to use the tools that are available in the future. This has been a perpetual problem in education...educators tend to prepare kids for the world they came from, not even the current reality, let alone the future.
