Why Are We Walking with the Dog Instead of with Our Children? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few years ago, I remember reading in The Guardian newspaper that many English parents thought playing outdoors was important for their children's development, and they wished their children spent more time outdoors connecting with nature, but they felt unable to influence them to make this happen. They said that their children’s outdoor time had reduced, largely due to screens, traffic, and safety fears. I thought of it a few days ago, when I bumped into a neighbour walking his dog. We started
Jensen Huang, AI, Super El Niño and the Growing Human Cost of the Climate Crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jensen Huang of Nvidia recently gave an interview on The Ezra Klein Show that understandably provoked a strong reaction. I’m not going to go through the interview; you can read the edited transcript yourself here and draw your own conclusions.

As a Greek with a classical education, imperfect though it was, I totally understand why people are so attracted to ideas from Greek and Roman antiquity when trying to deal with the crazy stress of modern life. In this rather
Public Education in the Age of Climate Change (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’d never really thought of climate change as a problem for education. It seemed to belong elsewhere, in melting glaciers and flooded coastlines, while schools remained ordinary and safe, with classrooms, noisy corridors, and the familiar rhythm of September to July. Not any longer.It is becoming impossible to ignore how climate change is already reshaping our schools, especially for young children in the early years, whose minds are still developing and whose futures depend on the stability of
