This can be the way things are taught, who are the teachers, what a school day would look like, where classes are taught, what things what look like, etc.

Ideally: Ms. Frizzle.

More realistically, I think increasing the number of field trips would help students see things in action.

They don't need to be big: just a quick walk to the park, bakery, pharmacist, firehall, clinic, anything really. Just little half day trips every week or two.

You're so right about Ms. Frizzle. She'd be the perfect teacher in a Solarpunk world.

Agreed about the frequent field trips. It's more important to get out than people think, plus it helps people realize learning isn't just for in the classroom.
