The Washington Trails Association has a good article on the impacts of the torrential rains earlier this month on access to the backcountry.

💯 agree. I think that, from the beginning, curricula should be split into half conventional formal classroom and half nonconventional where the formal material is used in different ways to reinforce the material, add context/application, and advance critical thinking as you state. For example, giving speeches, staging debates, using visual art to illustrate concepts (ranging from history to math), etc. Also, add doing taxes, cooking, fixing things, and conflict resolution.
