I once heard Oprah Winfrey say that we are all one to two steps away from being homeless, and I agree with that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">But as I was passing a homeless person asking for money on the exit ramp from a local highway the other day, I wondered what place, if any, education played (or didn&#8217;t play) in people&#8217;s lives. <strong>Was\/is there any common denominator or set of experiences with their education that we can look at? If so, can we use design thinking to get at some of those root issues?<\/strong> For examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Was school easy for them? Hard for them? <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800000;\">A source of joy for them? A source of pain for them? <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Were they engaged or disengaged? <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Were they able to pursue their interests and passions?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">It might turn out that education had little to do with things. It could have been health issues, broken relationships, systemic issues, the loss of a job, addictions, intergenerational &#8220;chains,&#8221; or many other things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">But it&#8217;s worth someone researching this. Such studies and interviews could turn up some helpful directions and steps to take for our future.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span class=\"r-18u37iz\"><a class=\"css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/homelessness?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#homelessness<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"r-18u37iz\"><a class=\"css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/society?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#society<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"r-18u37iz\"><a class=\"css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/education?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#education<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"r-18u37iz\"><a class=\"css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/passions?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#passions<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"r-18u37iz\"><a class=\"css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/participation?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#participation<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"r-18u37iz\"><a class=\"css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/research?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#research<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"r-18u37iz\"><a class=\"css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/educationreform?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#educationreform<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"r-18u37iz\"><a class=\"css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/K12?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#K12<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"r-18u37iz\"><a class=\"css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/lifelonglearning?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#lifelonglearning<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From DSC: For those seeking a doctorate in education: Here&#8217;s a potential topic for your doctoral thesis.
