Having a green house for city school, or farms where the students in segments take care of crops through out the day.
Or another way is more field trips to farms.
In the country or suburban areas many schools have lots of empty land they could develop to be a small garden or larger farms.
Most people don’t become farmers but most people ARE disconnected from their food source. Learning about agriculture, cultivating a crop, and doing yard work helps increase physical activity, responsibly, and work ethic. It also gets kids in nature which has been shown countless times is a net positive for many people’s health and well being.
The farm can also be an extension to get kids more involved in the local community.
IMO that is incredibly valuable.
Most of the reason is that it’s not focused in the curriculum but also it can cost a lot of money.
I’m not sure about funding, that is a whole issue on its own.
In terms of schedule it would be treated like a regular class where groups of kids go in and farm for about 45 minutes and then move on to their next class and that goes from morning to afternoon.
But perhaps that has to do with how we allocate the money to education, but it’s mainly because there’s no money in the first place. I’m not sure but the sentiment for me is there and I wonder what you guys think?
