Present indicative of future
By TRICIA PARKER

John Hoyle can see the fu
ture.
But he doesn’t see it in the
space stations of science fiction
writers. Or in the apocalyptic
theories of contemporary au

rent trends in education to in
crease public schools funds but
cut funds for higher education
are short-sighted.
“One of the reasons public
schools are not as good as they
could have been is that our ed
ucators are not as prepared as
they could have been,” he says.
“It’s a paradox to me as an ed
ucator and very bewildering to
me as a futurist.”
