What schools look like that empower our children for a demanding world. Physicist and passionate science communicator Harald Lesch has been working for many years to bring current scientific knowledge, particularly about climate change, into schools, as he believes understanding scientific connections is socially important. In this process, he often encounters frustrated teachers, students who struggle with rigid curricula and conditions. Klaus Zierer observes the crisis in schools, which is reflected not only in Pisa results, from a different perspective: the educational scientist trains future educators for schools and calls for reforms, regularly engaging in educational debates. Together, they have written a manifesto based on their experiences, outlining what schools should look like to empower children through education for a successful life in a challenging world. A book for parents who care about what their children learn in school, and indeed for anyone involved with schools.
