Can you teach the future and be optimistic?

Jason Manning

Can you teach the future and be optimistic? That is what I am going to focus on as I start the LBH project this year. In the past my students talk about global warming, an asteroid hitting the earth, or food shortages in a rising global population. All of these issues are important but I want to create a feeling of optimism as I stress to the kids that they can help solve the world's issue. Any suggestions for how to go about this monumental task?

  • I agree with Chris. That's a good starting question. I think the way in which we frame the question often determines the way in which students answer. I'm going to work to make sure I phrase questions in a way that does not not lead to an immediate negative response.
