Right under the glaring media attention for COVID-19 and "Black Lives Matter" moves a passionate emergency debate about the New Education: Are children going to return to school in a few short weeks 'as usual' just with social distancing in place?

Are most lessons going to be delivered in a virtual format?
Is this the window of opportunity to introduce personalized learning on a broader scale?
How is the social intelligence of our children going to be affected?
How are our bright and sensitive children going to respond to these new realities?

Before we start creating very much needed personalized education curricula, there might be one big mindset shift needed for students, parents, teachers and company leaders- humanizing education on all levels:

Make learning a joyful experience that fuels curiosity and fills the heart and soul of every student.

This will take passionate teachers, more than AI.
