If we had to reimagine what our education system should look like, what would you change/do differently?

Teach money.
It's origins, history, where it's at. This should get people to question it earlier.
More practical learning, less theoretical, balance it out.
Parents and children should have a voice in house school funds are spent.
Schools should be open and transparent about their spending.
All great ideas! Learn by doing is key imo. 👍🏼
I think about this a lot... I reflect about my own educational gaps and previous mistakes with my kids' education. Many decades (maybe centuries?) ago, families used to be more involved in the education of their children. It became mostly delegated to government-led centralized school boards with almost no room for healthy competition.
This is a non comprehensive list of the topics I miss:
Principles of Economics
- human action, value and price
- importance of property rights
- production to overcome scarcity
- the problems money solve
- the role of savings
- impacts of intervention in the economic process
Life Skills
- cleaning
- cooking
- respect
- character development
- self-improvement
- civilization
- role of family
100%. I like the life skills part especially. The concept of growth mindset and character development as you mentioned are so important. Among all the things you also mentioned 👍🏼
