    First ya'll tell me to teach the fifth graders Dvorak... then to teach the math faculty Haskell...

    What would a fedi- designed full school curriculum look like? I'm horrified but also fascinated to know.

    Every child will build their own calculator and eventually computer from transistors. Soldering your keyboard would happen in 4th grade. The local intra-net would be student designed and run with custom protocols.

    A wonderful horrible place!

    @futurebird The AP track has to build their semiconductors from sand, of course. (Let's give high schoolers hydroflouric acid, yay!)

      @futurebird

      Hmm fedi approved classes... Some guesses

      English classes would feature the literature of science fiction, fantasy, comics and standards documents.

      So many craft classes. Electronics, bike repair, sewing, knitting, needlepoint, woodworking, radio, building your own keyboard.

      Insults for those other splitter socialists

      How to phrase your comment as a question

      Corporate sabotage.

      Replacing google docs with next cloud running on a salvaged hotel door lock.

      History of black and queer people in the western world.

      Ecology classes covering little organisms like moss and ants.

      How could I forget! How to spot the fed.

        @futurebird you know, we probably would encourage something like this, but it shouldn't be the only track, there should be applied history exercises and that sort of thing

          @futurebird for example, 6th graders would begin an open-ended project where they get actual laws passed by holding city council's feet to the fire

          it can't have a defined time period because then the professional politicians would just stall until the project is over, which would be a key part of the lesson

            @futurebird we did build a working half-adder from transistors when we were 7. we don't think building a whole calculator that way is necessarily a good idea, it's a lot of assembly and the result would be quite bulky, but it was a really neat way to test our understanding of digital logic

              "... leads naturally to lisp"

              what a peculiar combination of words

              I only noticed the typo in this just now. There is an extra "is" ... I don't think Mauser saw it and I didn't either.
