No, it should be the parents' responsibility and don't expect anything good to be taught in the schools, and they would never teach you how to be a free and self-responsible sovereign individual.
Awkward. I'm a public teacher and have been teaching exactly this for 6 years.

Keep doing it, it's rare to find teachers like this @satoshi_in_the_classroom @kdnolan, but I guess it's decided by yourself, not encouraged by the school, right?
I only met a teacher in my life who ever did that, encouraging me to question many things, even himself, and he was always getting into trouble with the schools by this way of teaching hahaha! And we still got in touch sometimes after all these years, and I even asked his thoughts about Bitcoin, he is quite cool.

Haha he sounds awesome!
Yeah, school is supposed to be as silly and fun as possible imo - and learning happens as you go.. naturally Bitcoin falls into the silly and fun category 🙂

Mine wasn't silly and fun haha, lots of forcing and demanding. I felt so happy when all of the those school time finished, and my parents saw what they wanted to see.
learning happens as you go.. naturally
yes, I'm so much happier learning things in real life tbh, especially when I'm trying to solve some problems, with all the digging, trial and error, real fun.!

Yeah the edu system is broken for sure.... I've been trying to build a protocol called the DAES to solve it.. (decentralized autonomous education system)

Interesting, how would it work? Personally, I prefer more hands-on learning than sitting and listening, and each person must have their learning style.
The current edu system putting everyone to fit into the same thing is so wrong.
