There were some posts on Philosophy of Education: see  - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_education and https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/education-philosophy/ and also this course prospectus that gives a thought-provoking summary: https://online.wrexham.ac.uk/what-is-the-philosophy-of-education/   That said, many of us have been in education as providers as well as recipients.  We heard how stimulating a Montessori school could be, but recognised the need for rote learning and repetition as a prerequisite for analysis, critical thinking and creativity, while making learning enjoyable and desirable.  Hopefully parents have started to instil this, but there is a problem and a potential cycle of deprivation where they have not.  As well as educating for employment, there is a need to socialise, both being able to participate as well as recognise and evade hazards.  The value of drama was recognised.  The problem of time and bandwidth for teachers was recognised, and the regimentation of the curriculum is a further contraint.  Then what social norms and ethics should be taught and to what extent should they be questioned, particularly noting the curriculum will lag behind social change?  Arising from this we discussed home schooling.  Done badly this can be limited by the parent’s capability and can narrow the child’s exposure to wider cultures, but done properly it can be effective.  Inevitably we discussed AI: surely to be accessed as a gateway to so much information and knowledge, but definitely requiring a critical approach.
