"We are now at a point where we must educate our children in what no one knew yesterday, and prepare our schools for what no one knows yet." -- anthropologist Margaret Mead (12/16/1901 - 11/15/1978), quoted in "How They Work In Indiana : Business-Education Partnerships"(1994) by Andrew L. Zehner. Mead's groundbreaking studies of life in American Samoa in the 1920s opened up new chapters in the studies of human behavior and relationships.
Her insight into the challenge of educating our children, especially in today's AI-dominated world of technology, was prescient.
