It wont make any diff cause most people dont want to think. And those who feel like thinking, love to think about very different things.

As problems get more complex this is the main headache -keeping everyone in the same boat rowing in same direction.

On what basis do you say this? What exactly do you mean?

I don't mind that the above claim is cynical. But I think it is (a) wildly overconfident and (b) poorly reasoned. Check your biases. Also check your pain points -- would I be crazy to guess that you've become jaded about student's ability to learn, think, and/or care about education?

Next, consider a specific scenario so we're not talking past each other. Let's say 5% of high schools decide to teach Thinking in Systems. Say they get a grant so that someone experienced (in the book and subject matter) comes in and teaches for a few weeks as a special topic (at no cost to the school).

Now, think statistically and empirically. What kinds of effects will there be on students? If you are intellectually honest, you'll have to ask questions, maybe even gather some data. If you put some effort into thinking, you probably won't conclude there will be zero effect.
