High-school futuring.

Society may now be primed to make better use of forecasting, as the failures of imagination and intelligence have made clear in the post-9/11 era, sociologist Art Shostak told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Shostak proposes schools devote themselves to using

the study of the future as an overarching curriculum. This could help encourage the "importance of rational, commonsense thinking about the future," he says. These ideas are discussed in detail in "High Schools for Futurism: Nurturing the Next Generation," the cover story of the November-December 2004 issue of THE FUTURIST.
