Education in 2029, as predicted in 1929
“A century hence,” among other things he said: “books are going to be eliminated, educational films will take their place. Newspapers that are using an enormous amount of soft wood for the manufacture of paper will be abolished. People will get a knowledge of the happenings by machines somewhat on the line of radios. Schools will be extinct. Teachers will sit in the comfort of their homes and give lectures to pupils also sitting in their homes. The only books will belong to a state library and the paper will be made of rags.” -Waterloo Region Record, 5 October 1929

To me, this one has "economists predict 31 of the last 4 recessions" energy.

In our latest episode on education (with @mealeylaffs and Unprofessional Development), we touch on the racist origins of the SAT. Specifically, how Carl Brigham--who created the SAT--did so with the assumption of white superiority. His book, A Study of American Intelligence, 1/3

is full of both ugly racist and a complete misunderstanding of the relationship between correlation and causation (which is odd for a book with so many graphs.) We didn't go into it in great detail, because we were having a fun discussion and eugenics and racism is super 2/3

depressing. But as educators, I think it's important to confront. 3/3

Here is the other cartoon from Arthur Radebaugh we featured in this week's episode. This wound up being more accurate than it would be otherwise from March of 2020 through 2021. His cartoons are definitely worth further investigation: buff.ly/2QqPzIV

Here is the full page of predictions from the 1900 Ladies Home Journal that we covered in today's episode. It's worth looking at all of the predictions, they are fascinating.

This conversation has far more focus on pneumatic tubes, eugenics, Mad Max, and ICBMs than you might expect.
